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 Wijdenesserstraat in Amsterdam, this residential block of eight kitchen dwellings exemplifies the Amsterdam School architectural style. The building takes its distinctive name from an innovative design feature for its era: kitchens positioned prominently at the front façade rather than hidden away. A wooden gable adorns the side elevation, adding textural variety to the composition. Designated a Rijksmonument, the structure reflects early twentieth-century Dutch modernist principles and domestic planning reform.
