The Amsterdam School architectural style, an iconic influence that gives the Zuid district its distinctive character, is beautifully showcased in the ‘Zonnehof’ residential block. This national monument stands as a landmark in the architectural history of the neighbourhood.
The residential block Zonnehof, built between 1938 and 1939 and designed by Dick Greiner, comprises 256 luxury apartments and was commissioned by N.V. Bouw- en Exploitatiemaatschappij “Socrates”. This block, situated between Watteaustraat, Courbetstraat, Michelangelostraat and Milletstraat, represents a fusion of the Late Amsterdam School and Nieuwe Bouwen styles. The corner section on Watteaustraat and Courbetstraat (Watteaustraat 13–17a and Courbetstraat 42–48) was later added by Greiner in 1951.
The complex from 1939–1940, including an internal post office, carries significant architectural and typological value. It marks an important development in multi-storey housing with stairwell access and reflects Greiner’s later style, in which expressionist and functionalist elements merge seamlessly. The carefully detailed façades with characteristic brickwork, granito steps, and concrete canopies and sills contribute to the architectural refinement of the whole.
Zonnehof, located on Milletstraat in Amsterdam-Zuid, is an iconic example of the Amsterdam School. With expressive brick façades, rounded forms, and subtle decorative elements, the design reflects exceptional attention to detail. The façades feature ornamental brickwork, horizontal lines, and generous windows that create playful light effects. The characteristic symmetry, distinctive balconies, and bay windows combine functionality with refined aesthetics. The sculptural forms and integrated art, such as the decorations at the entrances and on the façades—underscore the influence of the Amsterdam School.
