The Pyramids, Residential complex in Marcanti Island, Netherlands
The Pyramids feature two red-brick ziggurats reaching 55 meters high, containing 82 apartments with individual balcony gardens in Amsterdam's Westpark district.
The 2007 construction of The Pyramids marked a transformation of Amsterdam's former industrial area into a modern residential neighborhood with innovative architecture.
Architect Sjoerd Soeters designed The Pyramids to counter architectural uniformity by incorporating traditional Dutch housing elements with geometric pyramid shapes.
The residential complex includes 114 underground parking spaces and provides residents with direct access to public transportation, parks, and urban amenities.
Each apartment within The Pyramids offers residents panoramic views of Amsterdam while maintaining individual outdoor spaces through private balcony roof gardens.
