§02 Service area

Construction drawings in Amsterdam and surroundings

Amsterdam's housing stock ranges from 17th- and 18th-century canal houses to the large-scale pre-war urban expansions of the Gordel 20-40. In the old city centre and the belt, this more often means a structural calculation and stricter aesthetic review, whereas the post-war areas of Nieuw-West, Noord and Zuidoost generally offer more scope for a roof extension or extension.
