Boston & Seattle - Wilhelminapier Rotterdam
Boston & Seattle zijn twee nieuwe woontorens van in totaal 23 verdiepingen hoog in Rotterdam. De torens worden gerealiseerd aan de noordzijde van de Wilhelminapier tussen het Luxor Theater en woontoren New Orleans. Het gebouw ligt aan de Rijnhaven, parallel tussen de Antoine Platekade en de Otto Reuchlinweg en tussen het Van der Hoevenplein en het De Monchyplein.
Naast 220 koop- en huurappartementen en 1.500 m² voor winkels en horeca op de begane grond, biedt het gebouw ruimte aan privéparkeerplaatsen voor de bewoners en een ondergrondse tweelaagse openbare parkeergarage. Boven op de vijfde verdieping, tussen de twee torens in, komt een daktuin bedekt met sedum, mos en kruiden. Aan de pleinzijdes op de begane grond bevinden zich de markante entrees van de woontorens Boston & Seattle.
Architectuur
Het gebouw is een ontwerp van Frits van Dongen en Patrick Koschuch - architecten bij Van Dongen-Koschuch Architects and Planners. Kenmerkend zijn het gebruik van natuurlijk ogende materialen, zoals natuursteen, een gemêleerde, zandkleurige gevelsteen en bronskleurige kozijnen. Opvallend zijn de sfeerbeelden in de lamellenpanelen van de gevel die verwijzen naar de haven en de geschiedenis van de Holland-Amerika Lijn. Met dit architectonisch detail worden geparkeerde auto’s op de eerste tot en met de vierde verdieping grotendeels aan het zicht onttrokken.

Wilhelminapier Rotterdam
Metropolitan with a romantic touch. The Wilhelminapier offers this combination that is typical of Rotterdam. In the past passenger ships sailed to the New World from here. Now dozens of gigantic and luxury cruise ships moor here every year.
The atmosphere of arrival and departure remains. The robust and maritime character of the Wilhelminapier does too. It is a unique part of Rotterdam, combining the present and the past, old warehouses and daring modern architecture.

Rotterdam Travel Guide - Netherlands Joyful Times
Rotterdam is a municipality and city in the Dutch province of South-Holland, situated in the west of The Netherlands and part of the Randstad. The municipality is the second largest in the country (behind Amsterdam), with a population of approximately 601,300 people and over 2.9 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area (combined with The Hague).
The port of Rotterdam is the largest in Europe. From 1962 to 2004, it was the world's busiest port; then it was superseded by Shanghai. Now Rotterdam is the fourth biggest port in the world. Rotterdam is known as a city of architecture. A few square kilometres of the city centre offers a complete overview of what the twentieth century has produced in terms of modern architecture. Due to this more modern atmosphere and the presence of several relatively high buildings (for Dutch standards), the city is especially interesting for Dutch people to visit.
The atmosphere of Rotterdam is absolutely distinct from other Dutch cities. The mentality can best be described as 'can do'. From the waiters you meet to the businessmen and the people who have just arrived as migrants, all of them breathe a dynamic optimism of getting forward with things and their town. The modern looks of the city, the bustle and its building spree all add to this impression. That said, you might also find that people are sometimes somewhat too straight with you. And yes, the city is not the cosiest, or the most picturesque of towns, especially on drab winter days. But; get acquainted with this small metropolis, easiest done on days of one of the festivals with nice weather, and you will come to love it.
Like any city in The Netherlands, Rotterdam is very, very bicycle-friendly. Getting around by bike is probably the fastest way of travel within the city. There are separate bike lanes on most major streets and there are separate traffic lights for bicyclists. Avoid getting your tire in the tram rails. Always cross tram rails at an angle. Always lock your bike securely when leaving it, preferably chained to a fixed object.
There are five metro lines operated by RET. Lines A (green), B (yellow) and C (red), share tracks between Schiedam Centrum and Capelsebrug and offer an east-west connection. Lines D (light blue) and E (blue, also known as RandstadRail) share tracks between Rotterdam Centraal and Slinge and offer a north-south connection. Interchange between all lines is possible on Beurs station in the city center.
The area around metrostation Blaak, called Oude haven (Old Harbour), is not only worth seeing but has also a lot of pubs and restaurants. The Rotterdam dining scene is developing very fast with new restaurants opening very often. While most of the attention focusses on new Michelin-star aspiring places, there is very much a trend towards high quality mid-range restaurants offering French/Dutch cuisine.
Innovation here takes many forms, and one that is immediately apparent is the quality of the coffee served in the city's huge array of cafes. Until recently, there was only one coffee roastery in Rotterdam – the excellent Man Met Brill – but at last count there were 12, all roasting direct-trade beans to caffeinate coffee-obsessed locals. Cafes of every type (hipster hole-in-the-walls to traditional grand cafes) dot the city streets, functioning as work and study spaces for the digital generation as well as places where friends and family catch up over a drink or casual meal.

Rotterdam Architecture (modern & old) June 3 2011
This area of Rotterdam (near Kop van Zuid and Wilhelminapier) I visited many times before.
Every time it is very nice and interesting to walk around and look at all the new and old architecture. The variety of the buildings is unique.
To make this movie I did use my JVC Everio GZ-hm570-s HD filmcamera.
