Architecture
These row houses, built in 1868 and designed by an unknown architect, display eclectic influences with Neo-Renaissance elements. The period of eclecticism, which roughly spanned from 1850 to 1880, was characterized by the blending of various historical styles into a new whole. In the architecture and interior designs of that era, factory-produced ornaments were often used, and lavish decorations were in vogue. Neo-Louis styles, such as Neo-Rococo, were particularly popular.
The building at number 26 was repurposed in 1950 as a daycare center called “Huize Henriëtte,” in honor of the former director Henriëtte Pimentel of the daycare center on Plantage Middenlaan, which was closed during the war. This daycare center closed its doors in 2006.
It appears that J.A. Siewe Jr., who was originally trained as a carpenter but worked as a real estate agent, may have been the client and/or designer of these townhouses.
In 2015, the building underwent an extensive renovation and received a new foundation, allowing it to preserve its historical charm while meeting modern standards and requirements.

Thanks to the large windows, its south-facing orientation, and a ceiling height of over 3.6 meters, the living room feels very light and spacious.

The luxurious open kitchen features a spacious cooking island with a bar and is equipped with various built-in appliances such as a refrigerator/freezer, a combination microwave, and a Quooker (instant boiling water tap)
Throughout the entire apartment, there is a beautiful wooden floor.
Sleeping and bathing
The apartment has two bedrooms at the front. Both bedrooms feature large electrically operated Velux roof windows, providing ample natural light. The air conditioning also ensures cooling in these rooms. The master bedroom offers plenty of storage space with its built-in closet wall. The central bathroom is finished in a light color scheme and equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, and a washbasin.
