I was born in Rotterdam and lived their for half a year in a small appartment on the tenth floor of the 'Zuidpleinflat', architect's Van Tijen's last experiment in high-rise living.Construction of the building started just before World World II andwas completed four years after the war ended. So you can imagine it was a special moment for me and my mother (84) to be able to visit the place on my 50th birthday, after spending a night with my family at Hotel New York
