~Canal House
The houses along these canals are not exactly run-of-the-mill. Some seem to be built higgledy-piggledy. Nineteen young and promising architects, including Rene van Zuuk and Bjarne Mastenbroek, designed them. They were commissioned to create a unique concept for contemporary Amsterdam canal houses. The only thing their designs have in common is that each building is 4.5 meters wide and four to five stories high. Because of the different designs, each street has an ambiance all of its own.
