Water tower, Historic water tower near Amsterdamsestraatweg, Utrecht, Netherlands.

The 42-meter tall brick structure features Amsterdam School architecture with steel reservoirs and large windows providing panoramic city views.

Built in 1896 for the Utrechtsche Waterleiding Maatschappij, the tower stored 1000 cubic meters of drinking water until its decommissioning in 1986.

The water tower transformation project combines residential spaces with commercial areas, reflecting modern urban development approaches in historical buildings.

The building houses three studio apartments in its lower section and a 400-square-meter residence in the upper levels with a restaurant on the ninth floor.

The original water tank on the ninth floor now serves as a dining area where guests can eat while observing Utrecht's skyline through 360-degree windows.
