Making sense in a vibrant neighborhood. With 140 social housing units, De Lodewijk is the new pride of the Van Deysselbuurt in Amsterdam.

Stylish and open. The tapered corners create an elegant and modern look with an open feeling at eye level.

Colors the neighborhood. The recognizable red hue of the Van Deysselbuurt gives the building an urban appeal and seamlessly connects it to the surrounding buildings.

Lodewijks’ columns. The balcony partitions provide character and privacy. They also house acoustic ventilation systems, a storage room and a rainwater drainage system.
