More facts about this: The Sluishuis has 442 apartment units; 369 of them, mainly in the middle segment, are for renting and the rest are on sale. The size of the residential units ranges from 40 to 180 square metres (430 to 1,940 sq ft). Around the entire building is a publicly accessible jetty where there is space for 34 houseboats. The Sluishuis is built over the water of the IJ, allowing boats to moor at a dock of the complex. The unusual shape makes the building appear to float above the water. The façade of the building features two staircases that lead past the terraces to the roof, where there is a walkway and a view of the city. Any public access to the building is managed by the property owners' association of the building. The City of Amsterdam has mandated that the stairs must be open to the general public at least 80 days a year. The Sluishuis is a sustainable building, with an Energy Performance Coefficient(EPC) of 0.00. On the roof, solar panels and solar thermal collectors have been installed; the solar panels provide the energy for the LED lighting and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in the complex. The building has a heat pump system and its windows have been fitted with triple-insulated glass.

Neat but can I cannonball from my balcony?

"makes the building appear to float above the water"

Unless I'm massively misunderstanding the photo, it does stick out over the water, doesn't it?
