Summary
VRIJ takes its direction from the life and architecture in Amsterdam. Inspired by the city's rooftop designs, there are two styles intertwined throughout VRIJ—narrow and full-bodied. The narrow reflects the style of the canal house architecture, whilst the full and round body shapes take their direction from the bridges and bicycles gracing Amsterdam life on the canals.
