Neighborhood
Residents of the Apollobuurt still enjoy the urban design influence left by architect Berlage in the last century. From villas to townhouses: this 1930s neighbourhood, almost entirely surrounded by canals, is known for its generously proportioned homes in the Amsterdam School architectural style.
The façade stones and bridge sculptures by Hildo Krop, who was awarded the honorary title of Amsterdam’s City Sculptor, add further character to the area.
The Beethovenstraat gives the neighbourhood a young and dynamic atmosphere, with coffee bars and restaurants such as Cafecito, Et Claire, Margaux, and Ferilli’s. On Olympiaplein, you will find Coffee District for excellent coffee, the French bakery Le Fournil, and cheese shop Fromagerie L’Amuse.
The wide boulevards and the greenery of Beatrixpark, with its modern sculptures and ancient trees, create a feeling of space and are perfect for sports and relaxation.
The area is known for its excellent primary and secondary schools and its convenient location near the A10 Ring Road and Amsterdam Zuid station.

Zonnehof
The contemporary apartment of approximately 106 m² features a spacious and bright living room with a private entrance. In addition, there is a storage room of about 10 m² on the attic floor, perfect for extra storage or as a home office.
Milletstraat is a wide and quiet street, perfectly located near high-end shops, refined restaurants, and the lively organic market held every Friday at Minervaplein.
An ideal home for anyone looking to live peacefully while enjoying all conveniences nearby. Super comfortable living in Zuid.
I personally find the Amsterdam School a beautiful architectural style, which defines this part of the city. The apartments in the Zonnehof residential block are part of this style, and the block has since been designated a national monument.

The residential block ‘Zonnehof’ was built in 1938–1939, comprising 256 luxurious apartments designed by Dick Greiner in a blend of Late Amsterdam School and Nieuwe Bouwen (New Building) styles. It was commissioned by the N.V. Bouw- en Exploitatiesmaatschappij ‘Socrates’. The complex, named ‘Zonnehof’, encompasses the entire block bordered by Watteaustraat, Courbetstraat, Michelangelostraat, and Milletstraat. The section on the corner of Watteaustraat and Courbetstraat (Watteaustraat 13 to 17a and Courbetstraat 42 to 48) was also designed by Greiner but added later, in 1951.
The ‘Zonnehof’ residential block from 1939–1940, including an integrated post office, holds significant architectural and typological value. The building marks an important development in multi-storey housing with stairwells and reflects the later style of architect Dick Greiner, blending expressionist and functionalist elements. The carefully designed facades, featuring striking brickwork, terrazzo steps, and concrete canopies and sills, make it an architectural highlight.
The ‘Zonnehof’ in the Milletstraat, located in Amsterdam Zuid, is a striking example of Amsterdam School architecture. Built during the 1920s–1930s, the building is characterized by expressive brick facades, rounded forms, and decorative details. The design shows a strong attention to craftsmanship, with ornamental brickwork, horizontal lines, and large windows allowing natural light to flood the interiors. Notable features include the distinctive balconies and bay windows that combine functionality with aesthetic appeal. The Amsterdam School influence is clearly visible in the sculptural forms and the integration of art, such as decorative elements at the entrances and along the facades.
The centrally located hallway ensures a spacious and practical layout. At the front of the apartment, you will find the bright living area, where large windows allow an abundance of natural light to pour in. A comfortable sitting area has been created here, combined with a dining area overlooking the quiet street.
The separate, well-maintained kitchen at the rear features a light color scheme and is equipped with a gas stove with oven, a dishwasher, and a freestanding fridge/freezer combination. From the kitchen, there is direct access to the sunny balcony.
The apartment is largely finished with a light laminate floor, creating a calm and uniform appearance.
