Neighborhood Guide
The Pijp was developed at the end of the 19th century to provide housing for newcomers who moved to the capital for work. Freddy Heineken's father opened the Heineken brewery here in 1886. The first workers' houses, around Albert Cuypstraat, were built quickly and inexpensively. Later, houses in the Amsterdam School style were added by Berlage towards the Diamantbuurt. It is said that the neighborhood owes its name to the long straight streets that have the shape of a pipe.
The Albert Cuyp market and Sarphatipark define the dynamics of De Pijp. Artists and writers such as Piet Mondrian, Carel Willink, and Gerard Reve lived and worked here. The lively, mixed population brought many cafes and eateries to the neighborhood. Today, the area is known as the Quartier Latin of Amsterdam, still bustling with diverse restaurants such as Auberge Jean & Marie, Le Restaurant, Peruvian NAZKA, and authentic bistros like Petit Caron.

Le joyeux Boulanger
We were introduced to the house in January 2024. Even though it was almost the end of the day, the house immediately gave a good feeling. This was partly due to the large windows at the front and the unobstructed view of the square and, in the distance, the Amstel river. These originally characteristic houses immediately breathe a lot of atmosphere and grandeur. Especially the high ceiling and former en suite contribute to this experience. In 2011, it was completely renovated, and the layout was optimized with three bedrooms and plenty of storage space. The residents are now moving to a place outside the city where their roots lie. They will miss the versatility of the surroundings, the dynamics, and the lovely house.
Designvision
These building units are part of the first expansions of the city in the late 1880s and early 1900s. During this period, there was a lot of trade and business activity in Amsterdam. These economically good times contribute to richer construction. The houses from this period often have beautiful high ceilings, rooms en suite, and exquisite woodwork. There are also beautiful details in the facade and balconies.
This authentic architectural style still contributes to comfortable living, where the spaces and natural light can be experienced daily.
In 2011, the building was completely renovated and divided into four dwellings. This included checking the foundation, renewing the windows, and optimizing the layout.
