De Nederlandsche Bank, Bank headquarters construction in Frederiksplein, Netherlands.
De Nederlandsche Bank is a bank headquarters building in Amsterdam undergoing renovation, covering approximately 67,000 square meters of space. The structure features a transparent plinth level, exhibition areas, and a cylindrical staircase that connects multiple floors throughout the building.
The original building was constructed in 1968 and served as the bank's headquarters for decades. The current renovation project addresses structural issues and updates technical systems to meet the needs of modern banking operations.
The building will feature exhibition spaces within the former gold vault, where visitors can explore artworks, historical currency collections, and other objects. These spaces allow people to discover how money and banking have shaped society over time.
The site will feature a publicly accessible courtyard with pathways connecting to nearby parks, giving visitors space to explore and walk around the building. The transparent plinth level makes it easy to see the various functions and spaces of the building from the street.
The renovation will relocate roughly half of the bank's 1,800 employees to a tower with panoramic views, creating a different work environment. This shift combines modern workplace conditions with the preservation of the historic location.
