Apollo House, Office building in Apollobuurt, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The Apollo House spans six floors with a central 40-meter tower structure and a prominent corner position at Apollolaan and Stadionweg intersection.

Architect Dirk Roosenburg completed this functionalist structure in 1939 as the headquarters for Rijksverzekeringsbank, receiving recognition during its opening ceremony.

Two bronze sculptures grace the entrance hall, representing social legislation and justice, created by artists Hildo Krop and Han Wezelaar.

The building underwent renovation in 2012, receiving modern amenities including geothermal heating systems and improved energy efficiency measures.

Apollo House pioneered Dutch architecture as the first high-rise project in the Netherlands to incorporate a steel load-bearing structure.
