Droogbak, Renaissance Revival office building near Central Station, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The Droogbak features a central glass-covered atrium, connecting multiple levels through an anodized aluminum spiral staircase and strategically placed bay windows.

Constructed in 1884, this structure initially served as the headquarters for the Dutch Iron Railway Company before undergoing multiple transformations over subsequent decades.

The building exhibits Renaissance Revival architecture with preserved wooden rafters, neo-Renaissance facades, and modern design elements integrated throughout its office spaces.
