What people say

Amy Crowder

Available for hire

"Architect Piet Blom designed Blaaktoren as well as the adjacent Cube Houses. One distinct feature of this 15-story residential building is the windows, which all appear to be upside down. Locals refer to it as Potlood, or The Pencil. Markthal is the accompanying Pencil Sharpener. "
