Behind the Vision

ABOUT US

Discover the people, story and design philosophy that brought Valley to life.

More than a building

Valley is the result of a bold vision: to create a place where living, working and leisure blend seamlessly into one. Located in the heart of Amsterdam’s Zuidas, Valley stands as a symbol of forward-thinking design, sustainability and community. Every element, from the striking architecture to the integrated green spaces, was conceived to redefine how we interact with our urban environment.

More than just a building, Valley represents a new way of thinking about city life: dynamic, connected and human focused. This page offers a glimpse behind the scenes, into the minds and hands that shaped the experience Valley is today and into the ambition that continues to drive it forward.

An architectural landmark

Designed by the internationally renowned architecture firm MVRDV, under the visionary direction of Winy Maas, Valley is an icon of modern urban design. Bold, sculptural and unlike anything else in the city, its distinctive silhouette, composed of shifting volumes and dramatic terraces, redefines the skyline of Amsterdam’s Zuidas and invites curiosity from every angle. Clad in natural stone and softened by lush greenery, the facade feels both organic and architectural, blending innovation with a respect for the environment.

The cascading terraces, home to over 13,000 plants and trees, are not just beautiful. They connect nature with everyday life, offering residents and visitors an ever changing landscape throughout the seasons. Each part of the building was designed not only for aesthetic impact, but to create meaningful spaces for living, working and gathering. Valley is more than a design statement. It is a living system of architecture, greenery and community.

“Architecture is about creating dreams, making the impossible possible.”
