The Amsterdam School, a stunning architectural style that defines the distinctive character of Amsterdam-Zuid, is magnificently represented in the Zonnehof residential block. This national monument is a true icon of the neighborhood’s architectural heritage.
The ‘Zonnehof’ residential block, built between 1938 and 1939 to a design by Dick Greiner, comprises 256 luxurious apartments and was commissioned by N.V. Bouw- en Exploitatiemaatschappij ‘Socrates’. Located between Watteaustraat, Courbetstraat, Michelangelostraat, and Milletstraat, the complex represents a fusion of Late Amsterdam School architecture and Nieuwe Bouwen principles. The corner section at Watteaustraat and Courbetstraat (Watteaustraat 13-17a and Courbetstraat 42-48) was later added by Greiner in 1951.
The 1939-1940 complex, including an integrated post office, holds significant architectural and typological value. It signifies a major development in apartment block designs featuring stairwell layouts and reflects Greiner’s later style, seamlessly blending expressionist and functionalist elements. The meticulously crafted facades with signature brickwork, terrazzo stoops, and concrete canopies and lintels contribute to the architectural sophistication of the whole.
Zonnehof, situated on Milletstraat in Amsterdam-Zuid, is an iconic example of Amsterdam School architecture. Its expressive brick facades, rounded forms, and subtle decorative details showcase exceptional attention to detail. Features like ornamental brickwork, horizontal lines, and large windows create playful light dynamics. The characteristic symmetry, distinctive balconies, and bay windows combine functionality with refined aesthetics. The sculptural forms and the integration of art, such as the decorations at the entrances and on the facades, underscore the enduring influence of the Amsterdam School.

The centrally positioned hallway creates a spacious and practical layout. At the front, the bright living area features large windows that allow an abundance of natural light to flow in. This space comfortably accommodates a cozy sitting area, seamlessly combined with a dining section that offers a view of the tranquil street.
