The Marine Base Building 27E in Amsterdam has been a restricted military area for centuries, located in the heart of the city. In January 2015, the compound has begun a gradual transition towards a more public program. The departure of the designated marine units will be completed in 2018. Building 27E, a former education facility, is the first building on the site to be renovated for a public program.

It had recently been dismantled and stripped down to a bare concrete skeleton. In June 2014 The Central Government Real Estate Agency commissioned bureau SLA to present a design accommodating new uses within the building. To host the Dutch Presidency of the European Union, taking place during the first half of 2016, the building was completed in January 2016.
The building is situated on the waterfront, next to the Maritime Museum and the Nemo Science Centre (a design of Renzo Piano). It was part of an ensemble of two identical elevated volumes, connected by a single storey base. Since 1962 the building served as a technical education facility for soldiers. True to the ?Five Points of a New Architecture? of Le Corbusier, the two buildings were elevated above ground. In these days, the columns on which the building rests, the ?pilotis,? were pleasing elements for sculptural expression.
