History
Beulinck is a space that stays with you. Named after one of the area’s residents from the 1660s, Gerrit Jansz Beulinck, the building at Beulingstraat 8-14 was first constructed in 1857. In 1876 it was converted into the headquarters of insurance fund, Algemeen Ziekenfonds, by architect Pieter Johannes Hamer. It remained the insurer’s HQ for the next century. DME Amsterdam is proud to be its third owner and bring its history and character into the modern age.
Building
Beulingstraat 8–14 is a celebration of late 18th-century neoclassical architecture. The era’s symmetrical design flows from the outside in. The exterior features a signature temple roof, ornate door archway, plaster columns and cornice around the middle window with a triangular pediment to emphasize the entrance.
The original façade is lovingly restored. Brickwork and plaster has been deep cleaned and details repainted to match the era’s color palette. Its original skylights and windows have been replaced with black aluminum frames with built in shades and provide an exceptional view of the city.
Interior
The design of “Beulinck” creates a fine balance between contemporary design while preserving classic details that characterize the building. Carefully chosen colors, details and high-quality materials take you into a world of comfort and warmth. The open floor areas in combination with the high ceilings with decorative moldings emphasize the light and spacious feeling throughout the building.
Floor finishes include solid oak floors with underfloor heating, decorative plints on all floors, and travertine natural stone tiles. The walls and ceilings are decorated with elegant ornaments. Preparations have been made for custom-made acoustic solutions.
The kitchens, of which one has an island, are equipped with marble, natural stone worktops and oak veneer cabinets. These are equipped with Siemens built-in appliances and Quooker taps. The lighting plan includes beautiful Flos modular wall spotlights and recessed downlights and beautiful design Flos wall lamps in a number of communal rooms. The luxurious toilet groups on all floors are finished with a marble fountain with built-in tap and Brushed GunMetal accessories.
The building has two stairwells with monumental bars and a newly installed elevator. To finish it all off, classic hinges and locks from Griffwerk have been chosen, as well as solid high panel doors and a Loxone smart-office operating system.
Layout
This 848 sqm office building offers plenty of possibilities for collaboration and quiet reflection. Be welcomed at the main entrance on the ground floor with the spacious lobby, located in the center of the building. To the left you will find the fully-equipped kitchen with island and lounge area, and to the right, you will find enough space for workstations.
Due to a light street and ambient lighting the basement is light and spacious and therefore offers an ideal location for a meeting room and cloakroom.
On both the first and second floor there is plenty of space for workstations. Both of these levels will also have luxurious toilets and a fully equipped kitchen.
The third floor is the glass loft with magnificent views across Amsterdam. This area is featured with a grand kitchen with appliances. The finishing touch is the glasshouse: a peaceful nook on the rooftop overlooking the rooftops of Amsterdam, offering a flexible and quiet workspace.
Sustainability
This renovation will adhere to the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM-NL): the world’s leading science-based suite of validation and certification systems for sustainable buildings. Beulinck is expected to achieve the BREEAM Excellent certification level along with an energy label A++.
Beulinck will be fitted with solar panels, two heat pumps, air conditioning (Mitsubishi A++ model), and a heat recovery system on all floors (Mitsubishi Lossnay). The building is completely gas-free.
The high level of isolation, including the installation of HR++ glass will help reduce heat loss in winter and maximize cooling in summer. The HR ++ glass secondary windows also support this.
Water-saving devices will be used throughout the building. To reduce power usage to a minimal, LED lighting has been selected along with Loxone touch panels to control this easily. These panels will also allow users to control the temperature, humidity, intercom, lighting, loft windows and blinds.
With DME Amsterdam’s commitment to comfort, climate and sustainability, conscious choices have been made during construction and finishing. The materials used have been selected for their circularity and low CO2 emissions.
Neighbourhood
Beulinck is located on the Beulingstraat: a charming side street of the Herengracht on the boundary of Grachtengordel-West and Grachtengordel-Zuid in central Amsterdam. On the edge of the famous Nine Streets area, this 400-year-old trade neighborhood is rich with boutique retailers, culinary destinations, and monumental Dutch houses. Collect local delicacies from Banketbakkerij Het Koekemannetje and De Kaaskamer van Amsterdam or the best sourdough from Bakery Wolf. After hours, there’s no other place like the Hoxton Hotel or the Pulitzer for a cocktail or a night’s stay. The Dylan hotel houses the informal Bar Brasserie OCCO and the Michelin-starred Restaurant Vinkeles.
On Beulingstraat itself, dine close by at Beulings or the Italian restaurant Pianeta Terra. Both restaurants were recently voted the best restaurants in Amsterdam (Top 20) with restaurant Beulings making the top of the list.
