Amsterdamsestraatweg Water Tower, Water tower and national monument in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The 42-meter-tall brick tower features a cylindrical structure with a metal reservoir at the top, displaying Amsterdam School architectural elements.

Built in 1916 by architect W.K. de Wijs for the Utrecht Water Company, the tower stored 1000 cubic meters of drinking water until 1986.

The structure represents industrial heritage transformation, as Zecc Architecten converted the tower into residential units while preserving its historical features.

The renovated building contains three identical apartments, each occupying an entire floor, plus a six-story penthouse with direct elevator access.

The former water reservoir section now functions as a glass-enclosed living space offering 360-degree views across Utrecht.
