Curved View
Living at one of the most desirable locations in the Beethoven neighbourhood: the Stadionkade. This exceptional apartment is set within an iconic curved building and offers a distinctive living experience marked by comfort and architectural character.
The undisputed highlight is the expansive living area, featuring no fewer than eight windows that offer panoramic views over the water and flood the space with natural light.
Spread across three levels, the apartment includes three bedrooms. The top floor is configured as a self-contained living space — ideal as a private retreat for an older child or a serene home office.
And then there’s the roof terrace: a sun-drenched oasis where you can enjoy peace, space, and uninterrupted views throughout the day. A rare opportunity in Amsterdam-Zuid.
Architecture
The apartment is part of a distinguished corner building on Stadionkade, designed by architect J.M. van der Mey — one of the founding figures of the Amsterdam School. Constructed as part of Plan Zuid, the visionary urban development scheme by H.P. Berlage, the building stands as a striking example of the harmony between architecture and city planning that defined this era.
Its design is marked by both expressiveness and monumentality, with a careful composition of façade elements, bay windows and rhythmic window placements. Vertical accents in the stairwells contrast subtly with the horizontal bands that run through the brickwork. The detailing is understated yet refined — evident in the sophisticated brick bonds, deep-set window frames, and the cadence of dormer windows that animate the roofline.
The use of high-quality materials and skilled craftsmanship contribute to the building’s timeless appeal. These architectural qualities are enhanced by its setting on the broad expanse of Stadionkade, offering open views across the water and lush green embankments. Along with Michelangelostraat, the building forms a cohesive urban block where architectural unity and variation are held in perfect balance.
A residence of cultural significance, where the ideals of the Amsterdam School — beauty, craftsmanship, and socially conscious design — are expressed in exemplary fashion.
Rest and refresh
The bright and spacious living area extends along the full curved façade of the apartment, offering a panoramic view of the green Stadionkade below. This graceful curve lends the space a distinctive elegance, while sunlight pours in beautifully throughout the day thanks to the impressive row of windows. At the centre of the room is the dining area, with ample space for a long table — ideal for dinners with friends or a quiet breakfast with a view. The seating area is warm and inviting, with the calm of the greenery outside continuing seamlessly into the interior. The open-plan kitchen provides a sleek and contemporary contrast. Finished with dark matte cabinetry and a white composite countertop, it reflects a high standard of design. A central island features an integrated BORA induction cooktop with built-in extractor, while Siemens appliances include a combi-oven and an American-style fridge with ice and water dispenser.
The finishes are carefully considered and refined, with a sophisticated transition from ceramic tiles in the kitchen to warm wooden flooring in the living area.
Rest and refresh
The apartment features three fully-fledged bedrooms, each with its own character and layout, distributed across three levels.
The first bedroom is located on the third floor, directly adjacent to the entrance. This room exudes calm and simplicity, with a muted colour palette, clean lines, and soft natural light from the rear-facing window. It is finished with marble-look ceramic flooring and underfloor heating, ensuring year-round comfort. On the fourth floor is a generously proportioned second bedroom, finished with original wooden floorboards that add warmth and character. The sloping rooflines and exposed structure create a charming, almost cottage-like atmosphere. Adjoining this level is a spacious bathroom, designed in deep grey and white tones with contemporary fixtures. It includes a bathtub, a large walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, a toilet, and a designer radiator — all complemented by underfloor heating for an added touch of luxury.
The third and top-floor bedroom is truly something special. Nestled beneath the building’s roof ridge, this space features soaring 3.4-metre ceilings, gentle sightlines, and peaceful views over the rooftops of Zuid. It connects directly to a second bathroom, finished in a light marble aesthetic with a glass shower enclosure, modern fittings, and underfloor heating. With direct access to the rooftop terrace, this floor is perfectly suited as a private suite or guest retreat.
Roof terrace
At the top of the building, directly adjoining the upper bedroom, lies a charming east-facing rooftop terrace. This outdoor space is a breath of fresh air in the heart of the city, offering sweeping views of the distinctive rooftops and façades of Amsterdam-Zuid. The terrace is finished with wooden decking and enclosed by a slender steel balustrade — providing both safety and openness without obstructing the view. Thanks to its eastern orientation, the morning sun floods this space with light — the perfect spot for a peaceful coffee or breakfast while the city is still slowly awakening.
A valuable extension of the home, offering a tranquil retreat in the open air and a front-row seat to the ever-changing skyline of Oud-Zuid.
