De Inktpot, Railway office building in Utrecht, Netherlands
The De Inktpot building stretches across a substantial area, constructed with over 22 million bricks and 4,000 cubic meters of oak timber.
Built in 1921 under architect George van Heukelom's direction, this structure initially served as the headquarters for the Dutch National Railways administration.
The building incorporates numerous Art Deco elements throughout its interior, including original wooden clocks and monumental staircases that reflect 1920s design preferences.
Located at Moreelsepark 3 in Utrecht, the building stands a five-minute walk from Utrecht Central Station and currently houses the ProRail offices.
A permanent metal UFO sculpture, measuring 12 meters tall, rests atop the building since 2000 as the last remaining piece of a city art exhibition.
