Description
'Tower Overhoeks', the former headquarters of Shell Research on the north bank of the IJ, will be transformed into the 'A'dam Tower': a multifunctional tower with an observation point, hotel, club, offices for the creative industry and various catering facilities including a revolving restaurant. A'dam stands for Amsterdam Dance And Music and will build on the Netherlands' leading position in the music and creative sector. The 22-storey music hall is dedicated to sustainability. The distinctive canopy of the Shell Tower has now been replaced in spectacular fashion by a large new cantilevered crown that will function as the "lookout" of Amsterdam, where you can drink and dance in the evening.
