Blok met 4 keukenwoningen, zo genoemd vanwege destijds nieuwe plaatsing van keuken aan de voorzijde, aan de zijkant een houten topgevel, bouwstijl Amsterdamse School.

Located on Wognumerstraat in Amsterdam, this residential block exemplifies the Amsterdam School style and is notable for its innovative kitchen placement—a forward-thinking design choice that earned it the name "Blok met 4 keukenwoningen" (block with four kitchen-dwellings). The building features a distinctive wooden top gable on its side elevation. Designated a Rijksmonument, it reflects early 20th-century Dutch residential design principles that prioritized functional modernization within the decorative vocabulary of the Amsterdam School movement.
