Zomerdijkstraat
In the Amsterdam Rivierenbuurt, a hallmark building is the studio complex at the Zomerdijkstraat. A classified monument, the building was designed by the functionalist architects P. Zanstra, J.H.L. Giesen en K.L. Sijmons.
The building is a pivotal work in Dutch architecture of the early thirties. The architects were members of "Groep 32", strongly inspired by the work of Le Corbusier. They combined a functional architecture with artistic elements, of which the studio apartment block is a prime example.
