ABN-AMRO Bank World HQ
Amsterdam, Netherlands

HEIGHT: 105m + 70m
FLOORS: ?
COMPLETION: 1999
ARCHITECT: Pei Cobb Freed & Partners
USE: Office


(Sadly there was a height restriction of 105m, this was due to Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport which is nearby. But than again it ain't the height what we scrutinize here, it is the quality of the architecture...)

Year: 1999

Excellent example of modern dutch architecture, smooth curves juxtaposed with brick-like square bits. Truly wonderful and joyful.

The curved part looks great, but I'm not overly impressed with the other part, which seems a bit bland and monotonous. The interior looks fab though, and the height isn't bad for Amsterdam.

7.5 overall.
