Ernst & Young Headquarters, Amsterdam / Foster + Partners

By David Basulto — Filed under: Institutional Architecture , Offices , Structures , Sustainability , , ,

Foster + Partners just finished the first tower in Amsterdam, at the Vivaldi-park area of the new Zuidas district, south of the city.

The 24-storey building is divided into two twelve metre-wide column free towers with open, flexible floor plates. The blocks are staggered in plan to admit as much natural light as possible, helping this tower to be ten per cent more efficient than the target Dutch environmental standards. Plus, it has a very nice looking lobby.
