Standing on Amsterdam’s Zeeburger island in The Netherlands is an unusual structure.

This is Freebooter, a residential building made up of a pair of duplexes, designed by Giacomo Garziano, who founded the Dutch Studio GG-loop.
The allusion to maritime elements is no coincidence. More than a century ago, Zeeburger was underwater and served as a port for the Dutch navy.
