Edgarshof – Breedweer 92

Construction number 19 – two-room apartment 50 m2 / west-facing loggia (8 m2), 2nd floor, energy label A++

Type 12

This two-room apartment on the top floor enjoys a generous ridge height thanks to the rooftop extension. This creates a unique layout where natural light plays an important role. The large windows surrounding a spacious loggia of no less than 8 square meters let the light in from two sides, while the shelter provides intimacy. An extra skylight enhances that effect. A sliding door leads to the west-facing balcony integrated into the design. Here, the afternoon and evening sun can be enjoyed in complete peace and privacy. The bedroom, approximately 10 m2, adjoins the living area, where an open kitchen to be delivered as a shell is designated. 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 is also based on this. Tangible, not visible, because the floors form the heat source. This also applies to the 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 faucets.

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. Gallery.
Apartment entrance. Hall with meter cupboard. Tiled bathroom with wall-mounted toilet, washbasin, and walk-in shower. Storage room annex technical space for installations and connections for washing machine and dryer. Bright L-shaped living room with floor-to-ceiling windows around an indoor balcony (8 m2) facing west. Open kitchen (to be delivered as a shell). Bedroom (approx. 10 m3) with skylight.

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!
