The Zonnehof residential block, built between 1938 and 1939 to a design by Dick Greiner, comprises 256 luxury apartments and was commissioned by N.V. Bouw- en Exploitatiemaatschappij Socrates. Located between Watteaustraat, Courbetstraat, Michelangelostraat, and Milletstraat, was built in a fusion of the Late Amsterdam School and Nieuwe Bouwen styles. The corner section on Watteaustraat and Courbetstraat (Watteaustraat 13 to 17a and Courbetstraat 42 to 48) was added later by Greiner in 1951.
The complex, built in 1939-1940 and including an indoor post office, has considerable architectural-historical and typological value. It marks an important development in multi-story buildings with stairwells and reflects Greiner's later style, in which expressionist and functionalist elements come together seamlessly. The carefully designed facades with characteristic brickwork, terrazzo sidewalks, and concrete canopies and thresholds contribute to the architectural refinement of the whole.
Zonnehof, located on Milletstraat in Amsterdam Zuid, is an iconic example of the Amsterdam School style. With expressive brick facades, rounded shapes, and subtle decorative elements, the design reflects an exceptional attention to detail. The facades feature decorative brickwork, horizontal lines, and generous windows that create a playful interplay of light. The characteristic symmetry, unique balconies, and bay windows combine functionality with refined aesthetics. The sculptural forms and integration of art, such as the decorations at the entrance and on the facades, underscore the influence of the Amsterdam School.
