The Switchboard | The Project
In the courtyard of a closed residential block in De Baarsjes in Amsterdam, a telephone exchange, a monument dating from 1926, is being transformed into a special residential building with inner gardens. The former KPN building is a monument, a hidden gem, located in the middle of a residential block. For the redevelopment, the choice was made for a transformation into 18 houses with gardens, and 1 apartment, in the middle of an oasis of tranquility.

History

This municipal monument in the courtyard between Philip of Almonde Street, Witte de With Street and Admiralengracht, was designed by architect Alfred Boeken at the time when there was a great need for telephone connections and not much space in the city.

As part of the expansion of Plan West, this 6th telephone exchange was planned in the middle of a residential block in De Baarsjes. On the first floor came the storage and technical area, on the second floor the telephone exchange where ladies manually laid the telephone connections.

The building was remodeled and expanded several times in the 1960s. Since 2009, it has been a municipal monument because of its cultural-historical value.

The spatial qualities of the still intact interior, the communal stairwells and the monumental main entrance with stained-glass windows in the original design were taken as a starting point to design spatial dwellings. Thus, they all have a private outdoor space on the first floor. The dominant monumental chimney that was used for the KPN antennas will remain intact.
Many original qualities will be restored as much as possible and such as the facade detailing, the entrance corridor and the stairwell with the stained glass windows.
