Woonblokken Hoofdweg is a housing complex in Amsterdam's West district, built in 1925 by architects Gulden & Geldmaker and Piet Kramer in the distinctive Amsterdam School style. The estate, spanning buildings numbered 136–241 along Hoofdweg, represents the early twentieth-century Dutch modernist approach to residential design, which emphasized sculptural brick forms and organic spatial planning. Designated a municipal monument, the complex exemplifies the period's commitment to reforming urban housing through architecturally ambitious, community-focused development.
