What the residents will miss
“My favorite spot is sitting in the living room overlooking Vondelpark. In the summer, it’s a beautiful green panorama; in the winter, a picturesque view over the Koningsvijver. Each season brings a new characteristic composition.”
Neighborhood
In 1881, architect Zocher designed Willemspark, now better known as Vondelpark. A few decades later, the first villas were built around the ponds. Grand buildings in classical architectural styles welcomed families to this quieter, greener part of the city.
The grandeur of that time remains intact. The residents and the quality offerings from bakery Simon Meijssen, chocolatier Artichoc, greengrocer Wessels, bistro Jules, bar Carter, and the French seafood restaurant VISQUE give this residential neighborhood a contemporary allure. It’s an ideal spot in Amsterdam to live, where relaxation and inspiration are always nearby.

Het appartementencomplex ‘Huize Koningsvijver’ is in 1924 ontworpen door G.J. Rutgers in een verstrakte Amsterdamse School-stijl. Het gebouw staat aan drie zijden vrijstaand, op een rechthoekige plattegrond, en is gebouwd in opdracht van N.V. ‘Koningsvijver’. De achterzijde van het pand grenst aan het Vondelpark en biedt uitzicht op de vijver waar het zijn naam aan te danken heeft.
De heer Th.A. Wajer (Medemblik 1889 – Amsterdam 1975) was een van de eerste bewoners. Hij was bouwkundige en makelaar, en tevens directeur van de bouwmaatschappij die het pand heeft gerealiseerd. Rutgers ontwierp later nog een blok woningen in opdracht van Wajer aan de Churchilllaan. Het aannemersbedrijf van Wajer heeft enkele duizenden woningen in Amsterdam gebouwd.
In 2020 is het appartement volledig gerenoveerd (nieuw parket, alle muren gestuct en geschilderd). Tijdens deze renovatie zijn de originele indeling en het karakter leidend geweest voor het ontwerp en de afwerking. Op fraaie en ingetogen wijze komen modern en authentiek samen.
