Architecture
The Amstelhof complex is an ensemble designed by architect J.F. Berghoef in 1951/1952 and constructed by the Dutch Society for Public Housing (Nemavo). During the post-World War II reconstruction period, due to a shortage of material and financial resources, there was experimentation with new, industrial construction methods. This marked the era of reconstruction architecture. Alongside various newly developed Dutch prefab construction systems like the Welschen system, there was the well-established English Airey system. To adapt and implement this for the Netherlands, the Dutch Society for Public Housing (Nemavo) was established in 1947. Standard dimensions, floor plans, and concrete prefab building components were utilized. The residential blocks are constructed with reinforced concrete floors and walls. The facades are clad with concrete panels. The ground floors (base) of the blocks, housing entrances with large canopies, garage boxes, and cellar boxes, are executed in red brick. The windows and roof trusses of the Airey homes are made of steel, the roof is sheathed with wood and has a bituminous covering. An interesting detail is that almost ten thousand Airey homes were built in the Netherlands (between 1949-1965), with over half of them located in Amsterdam.
Living and cooking
The through-living room is situated on the first floor. The high ceilings, combined with large windows, provide ample natural daylight, making the living room bright and a pleasant space to stay. There is also sufficient space for a seating and dining area. Unique to this type of apartment is the through-living room, enhancing the overall brightness of the living space. Throughout the entire apartment, there is laminate flooring.
The open kitchen is located at the back, where you can also find the washing machine connection in a separate cabinet. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances such as a 4-burner gas stove and extractor hood.
In the basement, there is a separate storage room of approximately 7 m².
Sleeping and bathing
In total, the apartment has 3 bedrooms. The main bedroom is located at the quiet front side with an adjoining balcony. The room comfortably accommodates a double bed and wardrobe. The other two bedrooms are situated at the rear and have a view of the large communal courtyard. The smallest room also provides access to the other balcony. The large windows ensure beautiful natural daylight, making it a pleasant space to stay. The bathroom is accessible from the hallway and features a shower and washbasin.
Two balconies
Enjoying the outdoors in the sun is perfect here, whether in the large communal courtyard or on one of the two balconies. The balcony of approximately 3 m² at the front of the building, adjacent to the main bedroom, faces east. Here, you can enjoy the morning sun with a cup of coffee. The second balcony, around 2 m², overlooks the communal courtyard and is situated to the west. However, the large communal courtyard with clear garden etiquette remains a delightful place to relax, momentarily forgetting the tranquility and dynamics of the city.
