Dubbeltjespanden, Architectural ensemble at Mauritskade, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Dubbeltjespanden consists of twenty-eight connected buildings containing fifty-six residences spread across two floors with private entrances at Mauritskade street.
Built between 1872 and 1885, this housing project represented the first initiative of Amsterdam's pioneering cooperative housing association to provide workers with affordable dwellings.
The name originates from the weekly dubbeltje coin contribution that residents paid to gradually become homeowners over a twenty-year period.
The residences measure approximately 30 square meters and underwent extensive renovation in 2012 under the management of housing corporation Woonstichting De Key.
An aluminum silhouette artwork installed in 2013 on the building's wall documents the stories of past residents through a large brick letterbox design.
