Section 02 / Heritage
Anchored at the IJ
Designed by Benthem Crouwel in 1991, the silver tower has stood at the western edge of Amsterdam Centraal for three decades. A vertical landmark between station, water and city.

Section 03 / Transformation
A Transformation in Layers
The redevelopment respects what came before and reawakens it through four distinct layers. Plinth, service, tower and crown. Each rethought, each connected.
Image / Plinth render
Layer 01
The Plinth
A new entrance reads as a distinct volume. Curved glass facade, recessed services and a public forecourt that reconnects the building to water and city.
Layer 02
The Service Layer
A setback technical volume separates plinth from tower. New air handling and ground-source heat keep the systems efficient and out of view.

Layer 03
The Tower
The signature silver volume, modernised. Full-height glazing replaces solid balustrades. Views extend across the city, the IJ and beyond.
Layer 04
The Crown
A refined rooftop addition completes the silhouette. The technical volume returns as a subtle topping with multifunctional use.
