Bergpolderflat, Steel frame apartment building in Rotterdam, Netherlands
The Bergpolderflat features a block structure with 72 apartments, utilizing a steel skeleton frame and large glass windows across nine floors.
Built between 1933 and 1934, architect Willem van Tijen designed this structure as an experimental solution for affordable worker housing in Rotterdam.
The building represents the principles of Neues Bauen architecture, emphasizing functionality through modular construction and efficient use of materials.
Residents access their homes through 1.30-meter wide galleries connected to a central staircase, with an elevator serving all nine floors.
The Bergpolderflat introduced the first implementation of access galleries in high-rise residential architecture, revolutionizing social housing design in the Netherlands.
