Edgarshof – Breedweer 90

Building number 20 – two-room corner apartment 67 m2 / south-facing loggia, 2nd floor, energy label A++

Type 9

This two-room apartment on the top floor playfully takes advantage of the generous ridge height of the roof extension. The dormer window and the recessed balcony add another dimension to this. This creates a special layout where daylight and sunshine are allowed to play an important role. The sliding doors to the loggia face directly into the sun, while the indoor shelter provides intimacy. The bedroom, with its dormer window, looks out towards the evening glow.
In the bright L-shaped living room, space is designated for an open kitchen to be delivered in shell condition. Buyers can thus design their cooking area entirely to their own taste and needs. In this day and age, we naturally cook on electricity. The heating will also be based on this. Palpable, not visible, because the floors form the heat source and can also actively cool. This also applies to the L-shaped bathroom with wall-mounted toilet, walk-in shower, and washbasin. This sanitary space will be neatly tiled and equipped with high-quality sanitary ware and fixtures.

Layout: main entrance through Breedweer, with mailboxes and doorbells. Common hall with passage to the stairwell and elevator. Also accessible via gallery to the courtyard with courtyard garden, parking spaces and shared bicycle storage.
2nd Floor: shared porch. Indoor apartment entrance. Hall with meter cupboard. Tiled bathroom with wall-mounted toilet, washbasin, and walk-in shower. Bedroom (approx. 11 m3) with dormer window. Bright living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and an indoor south-facing balcony (8 m2). Open kitchen (to be delivered as a shell). Storage room cum technical space for installations and connections for washing machine and dryer.

A total of 11 parking spaces will be built in the shared courtyard. The bicycle racks (right, plural) will be located behind them. These are prime locations for harnessing solar power for electricity. Because of course, Edgarshof is also focused on a fossil fuel-free future in this respect.

Edgarshof is located in Koog aan de Zaan, east of the railroad and the Provincialeweg (the N-connection between Alkmaar and Amsterdam) and centrally in Zaanstad. With its own NS-station, commuting by public transport is obvious, the bicycle is increasingly used as an alternative. And why not? The Hempont, which connects Zaandam to Amsterdam's Western Docklands, is a fifteen-minute bike ride away. Less if the pedal power is electronically assisted. The fast bicycle route to Amsterdam-Noord or all the other corners of the Zaan region has a comfortable counterpart in the widespread regional transport.
Motorists turn onto the A8 within the kilometer and cross the Coentunnel five minutes later. The other way leads to the A9, toward Haarlem and Schiphol Airport. And vice versa. Quickly back home in Edgarshof!
