Cross Towers, Office towers in Zuid-As district, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Cross Towers is an office building in Amsterdam's Zuid-As district, made up of two connected structures with diagonal silver beams crossing their facades. A transparent core runs through the middle, allowing sunlight to reach deep into the office spaces.
The building was constructed between 2005 and 2007, initially carrying the name Drentestaete III. It later became known as Cross Towers after its distinctive exterior pattern became its defining feature.
The building's H-shaped design with uneven legs reflects modern Dutch architectural principles focusing on natural light optimization and sustainability.
The building sits on Antonio Vivaldistraat and is easy to reach by public transport. You can view the modern design from the street and explore the surrounding business district on foot.
The stacked cross patterns on the exterior influenced its current name, replacing the original Drentestaete III designation.
