" DE SCHOOL"
PIETER LASTMANKADE 30

NEW WITH RESPECT FOR THE PAST

5 newly build apartments, a new foundation, energy efficient, high quality insulation and two elevators, build behind the original facade of an old school!

Unique history, unique location, unique project and a unique opportunity to live on the waterfront in the former Willemspark School in the beautiful residential area of Amsterdam Oud-Zuid! “De School” offers a completely renovated development of 5 high-end apartments with garden, roof terrace and unobstructed view over the water.

This breathtaking penthouse of 216 m2, has a roof terrace of approx. 60 m2, a private elevator and is located on the 2nd and 3rd floor in the renovation project “De School” on the Pieter Lastmankade. This breathtaking apartment has a living room with a ceiling height of no less than 5.9 meter and very high windows that provide a beautiful view of the greenery and the water. You can also enjoy Amsterdam in complete privacy on the fantastic roof terrace.

Construction wise a lot has been achieved during this 4-year renovation project!

A complete make over has been realised behind the original facade. A new foundation and an extra layer in the souterrain was created based on the preservation of light. Because of the high ceiling on the ground floor, it has been possible to raise the ground floor, in order to create large windows at the front with lots of light and double doors to the patio at the rear, which have resulted in an extra living floor with a nice high ceiling and good light.

The original staircase in the middle of the building is replaced by two elevators which give access to the different apartments. A newly build staircase with original elements has been moved at the right side of the building.

The various installations used ensure the intended energy-efficient EPA A+ label. Presence of solar panels (in total 60 panels are distributed over all apartments - about 12 each), sustainable climate control, underfloor heating, optimal insulation, air conditioners with cooling and heating functions, sun-reflecting glass, energy efficient and high-efficiency central heating boilers, optimal insulation and naturally ventilated through drip openings integrated into window frames.

The insulation of floors and ceilings at the highest level is also of great importance during the realisation of this project. The floors are made of concrete and the ceilings are hung in a construction that, together with the floors, ensures a very high degree of sound density.

This quality is accompanied by a special design and attention to layout and comfort. The beautiful large windows, the outdoor spaces and the high ceilings are characteristic of this beautiful building. Comfort, low maintenance materials, plenty of storage space and an outdoor area on the outskirts of the city. The building has two elevators, which provide access to each apartment.

Abstraction and beauty have been the starting point for this renovation and are expressed in the interior, the building materials and the finishing.


ARCHITECTURE
In 1924, the first building of the Willemspark School was constructed on the Pieter Lastmankade. “The School” is part of the expressive architectural style of the Amsterdam School, which emerged around 1910, as a reaction to the neo-styles of the 19th century. Driven by a rapidly changing society, architecture also developed an urge to innovate and look for new sources of inspiration for design. Driven young architects started using typical Dutch materials, such as bricks and roof tiles, to create completely irrational shapes. The emphasis was now more on spectacle, beauty and romance. The use of reinforced concrete in the construction also makes wide horizontal windows possible. The horizontal line is therefore one of the most important features. Bricks are ideal for all kinds of creative excesses: experiments with brickwork bonds, protrusions, decorative edges, curves, but increasingly the emphasis was on abstract compositions and plasticity.

Gardens | Roof terrace | Balconies
The charming landscaped front garden of approximately 100 m2 provides maximum privacy and a beautiful view. The landscaped path that leads to the front door of “De School” has the option to park some bicycles in the therefore designated bicycle racks on its own enclosed grounds. The backyard (400 m2), landscaped with lots of greenery and beautiful sun terraces, is exclusively intended for the residents of the ground floor apartments. Apartment D has access to the beautiful roof terrace where you can enjoy the fantastic view of Amsterdam in complete privacy.
