Boekhuis, Office building in Teleport, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Boekhuis features vertical dark glass sections and light gray metal panels that form the exterior walls of this 1994 structure.

Originally designed as the Elsevier headquarters, the building changed its purpose when Elsevier merged with Reed Group, becoming the Amsterdam Tax Office.

The design by architect Abe Bonnema represents an open book standing upright, with its spine containing elevator shafts and connecting sections.

The structure includes a parking garage with perforated metal plates and a plinth building covered in polished black stone panels at its base.

The building's geometric composition creates a visual connection between its function as a former publishing house and its current role as a tax office.
