Hoofdkantoor Gemeentetram, Office building in Amsterdam Oud-West, Netherlands.

The building features a U-shaped floor plan with a central block, two corner pavilions, and decorative brickwork patterns across its upper levels.

Constructed between 1921 and 1923, this structure served as the headquarters for Amsterdam's municipal transport system during a period of rapid urban expansion.

The exterior incorporates sculptures by artist Hildo Krop that represent the themes of man's connection to transport and electrical power.

Located at Stadhouderskade 1, the building contains four levels with numerous windows and maintains its original wooden doors with varied glass panels.

The structure exhibits a rare combination of strict symmetry and rounded forms, representing a distinct interpretation of Amsterdam School architecture.
