Architecture
At the beginning of the 20th century, a group of architects emerged in response to rationalism, seeking a more artistic expression. This led to the expressionist architectural style known as the Amsterdam School. This style focuses on the external form, characterized by a robust and massive appearance. Typical elements include ladder windows: windows divided by a large number of mullions. This architectural style is often seen in buildings originally constructed as social housing.
The property at Weissenbruchstraat 10 perfectly reflects this style with its high mansard roof, beautiful brickwork, and solid front door. Originally, the ground floor housed small shops and businesses, creating a lively interaction with the surroundings. The block was designed by architect J. Roodenburgh and has been designated a municipal monument, adding to the historical and architectural value of this remarkable building.

What the owner is going to miss
What I cherish most is the serene ambiance and the subtle interplay of light throughout the day, casting hues of color across the interiors. The light is truly extraordinary, as is the vista overlooking the square.
I find solace most in the living room, where it exudes warmth and coziness during the winter, while in the summer, I can fling open the French doors to relish the freshness of the summer evening and witness the majestic sunset.
The proximity to the Vondelpark and the tranquil waters adds to the allure of the neighborhood, making it not just pleasant but also conveniently accessible to various locales, including the British school and the expressway for seamless daily commutes to the airport.
Nestled close by are charming establishments like the Dutch café and bar Gent Aan de Schinkel and Van Mechelen, perfect for delightful beverages and dining. Additionally, the renowned restaurant Ron Blaauw, offering delectable Indonesian cuisine on Amstelveenseweg, further enhances the array of superb dining options.
The neighborhood’s ease of living and safety, with the park nearby and scenic waterways for leisurely strolls, create an exceptionally secure urban enclave.
