Description

Description

Nearly continuous RESIDENTIAL BLOCK with WORKERS' HOUSING and SHOPS with an irregular five-sided main form and with linked rectangular ground plans with three or four storeys with attic and enclosed by an assemblage of flat roofs topped by masonry chimneys. The north facade has a length of approximately 110 metres; the west and east facades have a length of approximately 80 metres; the short facades in the SE and SW have a length of approximately 45 metres. The northern buildings on the flat roof have set-back rectangular structures containing attic rooms with window and door. The higher buildings above the gateways to the Coöperatiehof, the higher corner building at Henrick de Keijserplein/Burgemeester Tellegenstraat and the corner building near the gardens with the Burgemeester Tellegen monument have a straight facade termination with simple whitewashed wooden cornice. The facade termination elsewhere consists of a plastered attic with beading and lightly concave cornice and series of small rectangular windows with tilt windows. Masonry facades with alternating header and stretcher courses. Facade plane with coupled or uncoupled two- or three-light windows with vertical glazing bars and casement windows. The distinguished pilasters, on the division of the rear rooms, consist of rounded plasterwork. On both sides of the gateway buildings, at the beginning of the set-back facade wall at the Henrick de Keijserplein and in the rectangular extension over all storeys at Burgemeester Tellegenstraat 1, the windows are located in bay-like wooden window frames. Above the windows of the uppermost storey are simple hoist beams with hook. The wooden entrance doors with central light are placed individually or in pairs. The eastern side facade is virtually blind with two windows, one of which at the corner has a projecting rounding in the masonry. SE facade with six bays. At the corner a shop in heavy plasterwork and wooden frame with shop windows furnished with rectangular fanlights. On the storeys, window groups placed at the corner. East facade with two and seven bays to the left and right respectively of the higher building with gateway. Gateway building of four bays and with narrow windows placed at the corner under the eaves line. Straight gateway with high central section under plastered canopy and lightly curved identical vault. Narrower and lower passages for pedestrians, with teardrop-shaped with concave rear as well as rectangular masonry piers with natural stone basement and cushion. In the side walls of the passage below mostly blocked wall openings with horizontal and vertical glazing bars. Higher and set-back and further emphasised corner section in the NE with roundings in the masonry and with shop fronts and diagonally placed entrance section and projecting facade part and with diagonal lightly concave facade sections between the storeys with small rectangular windows. North facade with 23 bays, of which the 17 bays on the right side are set back. This facade thereby emphasises the Henrick de Keijserplein. Shop fronts under continuous and plastered lightly concave cornice with linked rectangular lights and with simple entrances. On the right side terraced housing with four projections in the masonry over three storeys with concave and convex roundings and with three-sided windows with horizontal glazing bars and casement windows and with porches with high staircase. Higher and set-back and further emphasised corner section in the NW with rounding in the masonry and with diagonally placed in- and out-swinging masonry between the storeys and with small rectangular windows. Shop fronts with side and fanlights and continuous series of small windows under the straight facade termination. West facade with eight and three bays respectively to the left and right of the higher building with gateway. Higher gateway building as described with unequally two-sided projections in the masonry. Six-bay-wide facade on the SW side with corner shop. Western side facade as described.

The rear facades, of secondary importance in Kramer's design, contain simple windows with a chamfered lower sill, internal balconies under canopy with partly original wooden balcony boxes. The eaves line with simple soffit follows the light projection at the balcony sections. The set-back facade at the Henrick de Keijserplein corresponds with an offset in the rear facade. The rear facades of the higher gateway buildings have continuous rows of windows per storey. Stairwells with stair turrets in the style of the Amsterdam School.

Valuation

Residential block of the Coöperatiehof with workers' housing and shops from 1925-1928 of general significance on account of its cultural, social and architectural-historical value, as a largely intact and representative example of social housing in which general neighbourhood facilities are also integrated. Also of significance on account of urban planning value and ensemble value as a historical-functional component of the Coöperatiehof complex.
