A metamorphosis has taken place in Amsterdam on Weesperplein. The Diamantbeurs (Diamond Exchange) is a historic building that has been restored to its former glory with a striking addition! Over the full width of the building, Octatube has built a roof structure that is 10 meters high. As you can see, Diamonds are Forever.
To promote the diamond trade, the Diamond Exchange in Amsterdam was built in 1910. The well-known architect Gerrit van Arkel designed the building. In 2015 the building was purchased by Sijthoff Media Groep and Zadelhoff Beheer (formerly Beheer Brouwershoff). The Diamantbeurs is undergoing the transformation according to the design of ZJA Zwarts & Jansma Architects and Heyligers design + projects. All historical details will be done by Braaksma & Roos Architects. Octatube has been commissioned to realize the spectacular roof structure.
