History
The property, designed by Adolf Daniël Nicolaas van Gendt, is a classicist building constructed in 1921 with Amsterdam School details, such as the decorative brickwork and balustrades. Client De Deli-Batavia Maatschappij, founded in 1875, was originally a colonial trading company that established its Dutch office at Herengracht 286.
The building is constructed in a modern way with a concrete structure, although this is nowhere to be seen. At the front, the property is covered by a so-called German broken roof, a special form of the mansard roof (also called a French roof or curb roof). The facade shows a classicist design with masonry detailing in the style of the Amsterdam School. In this
respect, the latter architectural style – rich in exotic features – conforms to the desires of the colonial client within a classicist framework. The pilasters have capitals in decorative brickwork.
The staircase is clad in nuanced grey-blue glazed ceramic. The panelling, balustrades and column cladding use one decorative feature: an oval with an embedded wave motif. Stairs and hall have glazed tiles and stained-glass windows. Three years ago, the property was completely renovated, retaining its many typical monumental details and a high-quality finish. Air conditioning is available throughout the property.
Outdoor space
Behind the Herengracht 286 monumental building is a beautiful, extremely spacious garden, complete with an attractive gazebo and an elegant water fountain. This west-facing garden offers an oasis of calm and beauty amid the hustle and bustle of the city. The gazebo is a charming addition to the outdoor space. With its traditional architecture and rustic feel, the gazebo offers a warm and inviting setting.
