neighborhood guide
De Pijp was built at the end of the 19th century to provide housing for newcomers who moved to the capital in search of work. Freddy Heineken's father opened the Heineken brewery here in 1886. The first workers' houses, around Albert Cuypstraat, were built quickly and cheaply. Later, towards the Diamantbuurt, residences in the Amsterdam School style of architect Berlage were residences . It is said that the neighborhood owes its name to the long, straight streets, which are reminiscent of the shape of a pipe. The Albert Cuyp Market and Sarphatipark are iconic symbols of De Pijp's dynamism. Artists and writers such as Piet Mondriaan, Carel Willink, and Gerard Reve lived and worked here. The lively, diverse population brought many cafés and eateries to the neighborhood. Today, De Pijp is known as the Latin Quarter of Amsterdam, still very dynamic and offering a diverse range of restaurants, such as Auberge, the Peruvian NAZKA, and authentic bistros such as Petit Caron. Around the corner from the apartment is Van Woustraat, with a wide range of shops for daily groceries and nice places for a coffee or a drink, such as Coffee Company, Wild & the Moon, Stach, and wine bar Rayleigh & Ramsay.

Specifically for Mauvestraat, the buildings are part of a closed block, designed in 1921 by architect J. Prins Jr., commissioned by the firm P. Leemhuis. The permit dates from September 1, 1921, and completion took Location October 1922. The building block is characterized by sculptural brick facades, stylistic doorways, whimsical window frames with horizontal muntins, and stained glass windows. These are characteristic elements of the Amsterdam School.
At the rear of the house is the bright living room with a view of the green courtyard gardens. The semi-open kitchen connects to the living and dining room and is equipped with modern built-in appliances. From the kitchen, there is access to the west-facing balcony, where you can enjoy the sun until the evening. The ceiling height contributes to a spacious feeling throughout the apartment.

The balcony faces west and overlooks a quiet, green courtyard garden—a wonderful place to sit outside at the end of the day.
