Remise Lekstraat, Tram depot in Rivierenbuurt, Netherlands
The Remise Lekstraat occupies an entire city block with a curved facade along Kromme-Mijdrechtstraat, featuring steel-framed windows and copper-edged entry doors.
Built between 1927 and 1929 to replace a wooden structure, this depot expanded in two phases to accommodate 320 trams at a cost of 2.4 million guilders.
A relief by artist Hildo Krop adorns the entrance, displaying a detailed map of Amsterdam's tram and bus lines from 1926.
The depot maintains a one-directional flow where trams enter from Amsteldijk and exit onto Lekstraat, serving lines 3, 4, 12, 14, and 19.
Three parallel glass-roofed light wells run alongside the main structure, supported by an internal framework of timber trusses and steel columns.
