Blok met 8 keukenwoningen, zo genoemd vanwege destijds nieuwe plaatsing van keuken aan de voorzijde, aan de zijkant een houten topgevel, bouwstijl Amsterdamse School.

Located on Beemsterstraat in Amsterdam, this residential block exemplifies the Amsterdam School architectural style with its distinctive design of eight kitchen dwellings. The building is notable for introducing a then-innovative kitchen placement at the front facade, a practical design feature that marked a departure from earlier domestic arrangements. A wooden gable adorns the side elevation, characteristic of the period's attention to decorative detail. Designated a Rijksmonument, the structure represents an important example of early twentieth-century Dutch residential architecture and its thoughtful approach to urban living and domestic space.
