Amsterdam_XXX“De Piramides” (the pyramids) is a residential complex on Jan van Galenstraat. Designed by S. Soeters and fully finished in 2006. In this frame you’re looking at the back of the two 50-meter triangular towers (housing 82 apartments). 🔼🔼
Inspired by Marcanti Island’s shape and 17th-century stepped gables, its brick facades loosely reflect the Amsterdam School style. It also serves as a noise buffer for the neighborhood behind it since the Jan van Galen (or s105) is a main entry road from the west side of town. 🚗🚕🚙🚙🚑🚛🛻🚒🚚🚙
