Amsterdam School architecture

In 1901 a new housing law was passed to provide better housing conditions for the working class. In the 1920’s a group of socially conscious architects introduced a new building style called the ‘Amsterdam School’. Housing for the working class should look like ‘palaces’. This architectural style is unique and overwhelming: expressive brickwork, undulating roofs, and many humorous details. Even the typesetting used for house numbers was designed specifically for these houses. There are many beautiful examples of this unique architectural style in the city. You will be surprised by their beauty.
