On the east side, near Sporthal De Struijck, the residential area will be redeveloped with 15 single-family homes, 13 apartments and a single maisonette. Spatially set up around a courtyard, where residents and their visitors can park. The backyards of all ground-floor houses and terraces of a number of apartments on the ground floor adjoin this. A wide variation in facades has been deliberately chosen, also for the apartment building. The theme is unambiguous, to restore the grandeur of the East side in a solid stone appearance. The single-family homes will have large window areas and both front and back gardens. Alternating gabled gables and transverse roofs have been successfully integrated into the residential blocks. By incorporating color-deviating parapets and occasional wooden cladding in the design, the connection with both the historic East side and the Rosmolenbuurt at the back is immediately found. Next to the sports hall, a new path is created, named after the opposite Monseigneur Callierstraat, transverse to the Professor Struijckenstraat. . In terms of appearance, the new buildings fit perfectly with the old neighborhood, in terms of sustainable living it is a real asset!
Dam tot Dam and beyond... Zaandam is located on the north side of Amsterdam. Only separated by a wide pool of water, also known as the North Sea Canal. Tunnels, bridges and springs connect Dam to Dam. That's where a quarter falls... Every autumn Zaandam is the battleground of world champions. Television teams register the finish of thousands of runners, who have started their quest in Amsterdam and walk via the IJtunnel and the dike to the Zaan side. Zuiddijk, catering square de Dam, Peperstraat and then walk into the Rosmolenbuurt. This working-class neighborhood has received a major upgrade through renovation, restoration and new construction. The cozy character of the neighborhood is and will remain intact! There we are building De Betawi, a residential area with single-family homes and apartments. Nostalgia where possible, ultramodern where allowed and super sustainable where necessary.
The single-family homes vary from over 96 m2 to ten square meters larger. Three floors of living pleasure, where the attic floor can easily be labeled as a fourth bedroom. The bathroom is neatly tiled and furnished with a walk-in shower, sink and second toilet. Of course, the toilet on the ground floor will also receive carefully selected sanitary facilities and a high-quality finish. A kitchen is not included. The pipes, electricity and water supply and drainage will be capped so that the first residents there can fulfill their own kitchen dream. It is also a matter of thinking carefully about sustainability. Of course, no brand new construction kitchens are going to go into prison. Within De Betawi there are two houses with two floors, one of which is ground-level, this is the same as the other single-family houses, so with three bedrooms, minus the attic. The other house with two floors is a maisonette, which is located on the second and third floors and has 59 m2 of usable area. The sizes of the two-room apartments vary between approximately 43 and 58 m2. There is one apartment with two bedrooms, it measures almost 72 square meters. The finishing and quality level of the apartments is also De Betawi-worthy. Good sanitary facilities and high-quality hinges and locks and you have access to an ideal kitchen.
