The building
This well-organized upper apartment is part of a building constructed in 1926. The houses on the street and in the immediate vicinity are built in the architectural style known as the “Amsterdam School”. This style emphasizes a sturdy and solid exterior form, characterized by red brick and large bay windows.
The apartment is part of a larger complex of 9 plots and was designed under the supervision of architect Th.J. Lammers. Lammers gained experience working with architects such as G. an Arkel, H, and J Baanders, and F.a. Warners before becoming an independent architect after World War I. He designed schools, office buildings, residential houses, and apartment buildings. Some of his notable works include the Hotel Seinpost in Zandvoort (1920, demolished by the Germans in World War II) and the laboratory building for the Vrije Universiteit on De Lairessestraat in Amsterdam (circa 1925). Until around 1930, Lammers’ work stylistically aligned with the Amsterdam School, after which he adopted a much more austere and functionalist approach, aligning with (international) functionalism.
Originally, there was an automobile garage (Peugeot dealership) on the ground floor, which has recently been converted into a residence.
Living and cooking
The entrance is reached via a natural stone exterior staircase leading to the shared entrance. On the second floor is the private entrance to the apartment. From the hallway, all rooms are accessible. The living room is situated at the front of the building and due to its corner position, it offers unobstructed views of the street, ensuring ample light and privacy. The high ceilings and bay window contribute to the pleasant atmosphere of this space. Another spacious (bedroom/office) room is also located at the front.
At the rear is the dining kitchen, which opens onto the adjacent balcony. The kitchen is functional and equipped with various built-in appliances. Also at the rear is a spacious (bedroom/dining) room with access to the balcony.
Previously, there were rooms en suite with a semi-open side room. It is relatively straightforward to restore these to their original state, creating a large living space.
Sleeping and bathing
Via a beautiful staircase with a skylight, you reach the fourth floor. Here you’ll find a spacious bedroom with a bay window, two smaller bedrooms, and a bathroom equipped with a toilet, shower, washbasin, and bathtub that requires renovation.
