The Gateway Building at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol stands as an impressive yet welcoming gesture above Ceintuurbaan, one of the main access roads to the airport, and connects WTC and Business Boulevard.
The shape of the building is largely determined by the infrastructure of the roads it spans. The two almost identical office towers are connected in two different ways: a pedestrian walkway underneath the busy roads, and an airbridge at the top level. Flexible office spaces, conference rooms, and entrance halls with various options for retail and restaurants, make Gateway Schiphol a multifunctional building that gives one of the worlds’ major airports a worthy entrance.
