Sloterhof, Post-war residential complex in Slotervaart, Netherlands

Sloterhof encompasses thirteen portico flats, three high-rise blocks, a twelve-floor tower, and various commercial spaces spread across Comeniusstraat and Johan Huizingalaan.

Built in 1959 by architect Johannes Fake Berghoef, the complex utilized the Airey system, introducing prefabricated building techniques for efficient post-war construction.

The complex represents Dutch reconstruction period architecture, featuring a combination of modernist principles with traditional Dutch building elements.

The residential units include internal waste disposal chutes, while the seven-story blocks extend over an ornamental canal with dedicated spaces for singles and maisonettes.

The complex contains two original gas stations, retail buildings, and restaurants under a viaduct, with one structure initially designed as a bank branch.
