The building & location
Residence "Pieter de Hooch" is a beautiful building on a unique location in Amsterdam.
The Pieter de Hoochstraat is wonderfully quiet. And that while the center and the hustle and bustle are within walking or cycling distance. The street is located between the chic PC Hooftstraat and the more popular Albert Cuypstraat. In this way residents have the best of both worlds at their fingertips.
The building is accessible by tram 2, 5, 12, stop
"Museumplein"
or lines 3, 5, 12 stop "Concertgebouw"
or lines 3, 12, 24 stop "Roelof Hartplein" or metro 52 station
"De Pijp". For additional information, please refer to: the GVB.
Our neighborhood falls under the
South District. This district has a very extensive website,
which provides information about all kinds of things that are
important to residents.
For example, you will find opening hours of the district, who you can contact for specific services or questions, information about the district, waste disposal, the agenda for consultation evenings and much more.

There used to be a PTT office on the spot where Residentie
Pieter de Hooch now stands. Construction work on the building
started in 1996.
In that year, the first purchase letters of intent were also
signed.
Completion of the complex was planned for autumn 1998.
Due to protests against the construction by local residents and setbacks during construction, the first residents did not receive the keys to their new apartment until September 2000.
Two renowned Amsterdam architectural firms were responsible
for the design of the apartment building, namely:
- Cees Dam and Partner
- Zaanen Spanjers architecten c.s.
Zaanen Spanjers are, among others, the designers of the
concert hall in the Berlagebeurs. The Stopera complex is one
of the many remarkable creations by Cees Dam and Partners.
This office was also responsible for the design of the NH
hotel Museum Quarter adjacent to Residentie de Hooch.
The constructor of the building is Bureau Bekker &
Stroband BV from Amsterdam.
