MVSAArchitectsNew European Headquarters Calvin Klein & Tommy Hilfiger
In designing a new European HQ for PVH Europe: Calvin Klein & Tommy Hilfiger, we were inspired by the waterfront location. The former port turned creative hub shares the IJ with two contemporary landmark buildings: the EYE film museum and Muziek-gebouw aan t ’IJ.

degree of flexibility, we made it possible that presentations come to light in every sense of the expression. Each floor will offer superb vistas over the city of Amsterdam and the surrounding waters. The large roof terrace on top of the building is a reward for every client and busi-ness relation visiting the new Calvin Klein & Tommy Hilfiger European Headquarters.
