De Bazel, Office building in Amsterdam-Centrum, Netherlands
The De Bazel building extends 100 meters along Vijzelstraat, featuring ten floors with rhythmic facades of alternating bricks and granite patterns.
The Netherlands Trading Company commissioned architect Karel de Bazel to design their headquarters, which was constructed between 1919 and 1926.
The building contains sculptures by Joseph Mendes da Costa representing Asia and Europe, along with stained glass windows designed by Antoon Derkinderen.
Since 2007, the De Bazel building houses the Amsterdam City Archives and remains accessible through public transportation in central Amsterdam.
The structure incorporates two central light wells divided by glass floors, covered with dome-shaped skylights that illuminate the interior spaces.
