design vision
The three-story apartments on Bestevâerstraat were largely and almost entirely designed by Daan Roodenburgh in 1924 and 1925. They feature very long facades that are only interrupted on the odd-numbered side by De Rijpstraat. At the intersection with De Rijpstraat, a square has been created with buildings by Roodenburgh on three sides and buildings by Kruyswijk on one side.
The facades were built with characteristics of the streamlined Amsterdam School style. Although the overall design appears sober and straightforward, the brick details are meticulously crafted and refined. The delicate latticework of the vertical brickwork at the porches is particularly impressive. The front doors feature sturdy granite kick plates in a distinctive shape. The Bestevaèrstraat has an architectural order of 2.

What the resident will miss
My own beach house in the middle of Amsterdam, where every time I come home, it feels like a vacation. That's how the house feels to me. When I moved in, the house was completely empty, so it was up to me to turn it into my dream home, and that project a resounding success!
I traveled all over the country in search of the most beautiful materials. The floor comes from the roof of an old barn in France, the colors were carefully selected with the experts at Verfspeciaalzaak Engels, the kitchen features the most beautiful tiles, and my extra-deep balcony is an extension of the house thanks to the French doors. I really enjoy living here. The extra-wide passage from the living room to the hallway gives the house a great sense of space, and when you leave the bedroom door open, the sun shines in all day long. In the morning in the bedroom, and during the day it turns more and more towards the balcony, so that after a busy day you can enjoy the last hours of the day. The neatly measured and custom-made wooden wardrobe, the spacious laundry room, and the extra storage space downstairs ensure that you can store all your extra belongings and always have a fresh and tidy house.
My favorite spot in the house? Uh, I enjoy every spot. With a view of the outdoors when I'm reading a book on the couch, at the kitchen table with my laptop while the sun shines in, or on a summer evening when my balcony doors are open and I'm chilling in my hanging chair on the balcony or having a drink with friends. It's truly a quiet oasis in a busy city. Jan van Galenstraat has undergone enormous positive development in recent years, and that actually applies to the entire neighborhood. Coffee shops, sports and yoga spots, the refurbished park around the corner, and with highways to Haarlem/Zandvoort nearby and the Jordaan less than 5 minutes away, you can go anywhere.
I have been with my lovely husband for a few years now, and we recently turned our house in Haarlem into a little Bestevaerstraat 2.0, because I wanted everything I had there in my new home. It took me a while, but now it's really time to say goodbye to this wonderful place. I wish someone else just as much joy, peace, and sunshine as I have had here. Enjoy!
