2e Scheepvaartstraat 1-91, de Oud-woningen

JJP Oud was the architect of this monument of the Nieuwe Bouwen. This internationally renowned functionalist house was completed in 1927. Oud was a member of the De Stijl artist group, but distanced himself from it in the 1930s because he felt that architecture was given too little space. In 1982 the (workers) houses were renovated, making one of two houses. The last major renovation dates back to 2000. The continuous balconies and the beautiful curves at the corners define the appearance of this example of 'modern' housing construction.
