The corner solution

Amsterdam - Admiralengracht / Van Kinsbergenstraat.

 

 

Residential block, built in 1926 to a design by Bureau Gulden and Geldmaker.

 

This block does have an unmistakable "Amsterdam School" appearance, especially due to the attractive corner solution.

Architects Gulden and Geldmaker excel in usually more sober designs, but they could indeed come up with expressive designs (amsterdamse-school.nl).

 

The Amsterdam School is a style of architecture that arose from 1910 through about 1930 in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam School movement is part of international Expressionist architecture, sometimes linked to German Brick Expressionism (Wp).
