Plan Zuid is an urban plan for Amsterdam-Zuid, designed in the early 20th century by architect H.P. Berlage. Characteristic of the style is the use of brick (often in alternating colors and the application of different materials), rich detailing (lots of sculpture), and often undulating facades. A unique sculpture by Theo Vos from 1927 adorns the facade of the building. Since 2017, the entire area has been designated as a protected cityscape.
