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 at Edammerstraat 18–22 in Amsterdam, this residential block exemplifies the Amsterdam School architectural style and is designated a Rijksmonument. The building comprises four kitchen dwellings, a housing type that gained prominence in early twentieth-century Dutch residential design. Its distinguishing feature is the innovative placement of kitchens at the front of the units—a modern arrangement for its era—combined with a wooden gabled roof on the side elevation, characteristic detailing of the Amsterdam School's expressive, craft-oriented approach to domestic architecture.
