Discover the Zandkasteel building in Amsterdam Zuidoost, a significant example of organic architecture. This guided tour takes you through seven of its ten towers, highlighting the integrated design of light, air, and space in its interiors and exteriors.
The Zandkasteel, designed by Architectenbureau Alberts en Van Huut and completed in 1987, is a prominent example of organic architecture in the Netherlands, influenced by an anthroposophical approach. It became a municipal monument in 2017 and has since been redeveloped by Wonam with a renovation by architect Max van Huut, now housing residences, offices, meeting rooms, and hospitality venues. The guided tour offers an in-depth experience of the building's interior street and seven of its ten towers. Visitors can appreciate the integrated design of light, air, and space, evident in the landscape, applied art, and green spaces. The tour emphasizes how the building retains its strength after its transformation from a closed office complex to an open space for living and working, revealing unexpected views and the harmony of interior and exterior elements.
Tickets for this guided tour must be purchased in advance through the website. The tour takes place from 11:00 to 12:30 and is conducted in Dutch. The meeting point is the main entrance of the Zandkasteel.
