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

Monkey November 27th, 2004, 11:31 PM 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.
AtlanticaC5 November 28th, 2004, 05:11 PM 7.5/10 Nice mix of curves and boxy parts
Dr. Dubai December 3rd, 2004, 09:58 PM one of the best towers in Amsterdam!
