Description

Introduction

Detached SHOP-DWELLING from 1922 in the style of the Amsterdam School built for the off-licence Rijniersce, to a design by architects A. Eibink and J.A. Snellebrand, who also designed the interior. The sculpture on the front facade and in the largely intact preserved shop interior is by the artist Tjipke Visser.

The shop is located on a shopping street in the centre of Bergen.

Description

The shop-dwelling comprises two storeys constructed in grey brick with decoratively laid offset facade sections in yellow and purple brick. The front facade is characterized by a convex section of the facade, reminiscent of a column, laid in yellow brick in the middle of the shop window, which only just meets the balcony parapet on the upper storey. On either side there is a display window that differs in size and material from each other. The yellow brickwork is continued in the plinth beneath the projecting display window and with a convex section it forms a decorative band to the right on which the window strip of the upper floor rests. The shop window on the right has a plinth of polished dark green granite and is closed off at the top by a broad moulding of the same material. The right corner is occupied by a vertical series of square wooden blocks with carved plant and animal motifs. Between the large display window and the brick pseudo-column the original slightly recessed shop door with glass pane and decorative copper fittings and next to it the original slightly angled entrance to the dwelling with a (renewed) glass door. On the upper floor the composite frame comprises seven rectangular windows and a glass door opening onto the small semicircular balcony above the column. The top edge of the upper floor window with decorative horizontal glazing bars in the windows is executed at the top with a sawtooth pattern. Above this the facade gable is filled with laid decorative brickwork in purple-brown brick and in the middle a small triangular window. The plinth of the front facade laid in yellow brick is continued along the left side facade (E) and passes into the laid chimney flue in the middle of this facade. The tall chimney laid in yellow brick has decorative brickwork at the top. To the right of the chimney a projecting facade section in purple-brown brick at the height of the left window in the front facade. In the broken roof slope to the left of the chimney a roof dormer with small glazing bars. The granite mouldings of the shop window on the front facade continue around the corner of the right side facade (W), as does the frieze executed in yellow brick which half-way up the facade passes into a tall chimney. On the ground floor a door with side light and in the broken roof slope to the right of the chimney a roof dormer. The largely intact preserved shop interior from the time of construction comprises, among other things, shelving units, display cases with leaded glass windows, the counter and ceiling lamp, designed by Eibink and Snellebrand. On the south wall carved advertising plaques in relief.

Valuation

Shop-dwelling from 1922, of general importance for its architectural and cultural historical value as an example in internal and external detailing and applied materials richly executed largely intact and preserved building in Amsterdam School style, also characteristic of the oeuvre of Eibink and Snellebrand. The sculpture by artist Tjipke Visser has art historical value. The shop is visually distinctive in its location in the village centre of Bergen.
