Amsterdam School architecture in Amsterdam Zuid
One special aspect that is of note, is that Norwegian slate was used in the facade. The square received a tower designed by Van der Meij as an accent. This tower gave an exciting landmark to the square, but unfortunately it became demolished. Other elements remain and were restored, like the wrought iron and the elevated pillars.Hoofddorpplein
