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

This residential block on Oudorperstraat in Amsterdam exemplifies the Amsterdam School architectural style with its distinctive wooden gable at the side. Built as a set of eight kitchen dwellings, the building's name commemorates an innovative feature for its time: the placement of the kitchen at the front of the units, a novel arrangement that reflected modernizing domestic life in early twentieth-century Amsterdam. Now designated a Rijksmonument, the structure preserves an important chapter in Dutch residential design and urban housing development.
