De Boetzelaer: nominated for the Amsterdam New Building Prize 2014

In De Boetzelaer on the corner of Van Hogendorpstraat/Van Boetzelaerstraat you will find 43 social rental homes, 4 wheelchair-accessible homes (ROWO), and 2 commercial spaces. Under the building there is a parking garage with 23 parking spaces and 2 motorcycle parking spaces.

The Boetzelaer is part of the renovation of an early 20th-century building block in the Staatsliedenbuurt. The facades consist of a lattice of vertical brick panels and horizontal steel facade supports. So-called French balcony panels and steel grilles enliven the building. The wooden gallery with outdoor spaces on the interior side serves as a meeting space for residents.
