The National Maritime Museum roof

The National Maritime Museum roof is a museum in Amsterdam, completed in 2011, notable for its design and setting. It is associated with Laurent Ney, and the project reflects a considered approach to form, materials, and use. In practical terms, The 17th century-built Maritime Warehouse in Amsterdam, originally conceived by Daniel Stalpaert in 1656, underwent a retrofit to make its interior courtyard a suitable space for cultural activities throughout the year. Overall, The original warehouse was planned as a warehouse in the water, built in the tradition of the Dutch Classicism and with a geometrical layout.
