Scheepvaarthuis, Office building at Prins Hendrikkade, Netherlands
The Scheepvaarthuis features maritime motifs throughout its design, with waves, sea creatures, and ships appearing in windows, sculptures, and marble decorations.
Six Amsterdam shipping companies collaborated to construct this shared headquarters between 1913 and 1916, selecting a location near the harbor district.
The building represents the first complete example of Amsterdam School architecture, incorporating Dutch interpretations of Art Nouveau elements in its structure.
The structure transformed into the five-star Hotel Amrath in 2007, with the former boardroom converted into spacious suites featuring original architectural details.
Twenty-three sculpted heads on the exterior depict 17th-century explorers, sailors, governors, and cartographers who shaped Dutch maritime history.
