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 at Oudorperstraat 26-40 in Amsterdam, this residential block exemplifies the Amsterdam School style and was notable for its innovative kitchen placement at the front of the dwellings—a progressive feature that earned it the name "Block with 8 Kitchen Dwellings." The building's design includes a wooden gable at its side, characteristic of the period's architectural vocabulary. Designated a Rijksmonument, it stands as a testament to early-twentieth-century Dutch housing design and functional domestic planning.
