History
The station, designed by Benthem Crouwel Architects, is situated beneath the Ferdinand Bolstraat in the De Pijp neighbourhood. Because of the narrow constraints of the site location, between the foundations of adjoining buildings, the station has two levels, with a platform on each level. Each platform is 125 metres long and 5.3 metres wide (3 meters at its narrowest points). There are ten escalators (five per platform) as well as lifts to the mezzanine level. The lower level platform with southbound services to Zuid is 26.5 meters below street level, while the upper level platform with northbound services to Noord is 16.5 meters below street level. This makes De Pijp station the deepest station on the Noord/Zuidlijn and the deepest metro station in the Netherlands.
In May 2013, a municipal advisory committee selected artwork by Argentinian artist Amalia Pica for this station.{{cite web|url=http://wijnemenjemee.nl/kunst/in-station-de-pijp|title=Kunst in station De Pijp: De kleuren van De Pijp sijpelen door (Art in De Pijp Station: The Colours of De Pijp Neighbourhood Seep Downward|language=Dutch|publisher=Gemeente Amsterdam|date=2016-10-31|accessdate=2018-04-24}} It is a multicolored painting that will run the entire span of the wall of the mezzanine level.
The station has two entrances, one at Albert Cuypstraat and Ferdinand Bolstraat and one at Ceintuurbaan and Ferdinand Bolstraat. The existing corner buildings at each station entrance location had been demolished. The first designs for the new residential buildings were presented in April 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.hierzijnwij.nu/nieuws/wonen-boven-station-de-pijp/|title=Wonen boven station De Pijp (Living Above De Pijp Station|language=Dutch|publisher=Gemeente Amsterdam|date=2014-04-11|accessdate=2018-04-24}}
