6th Municipal Housing Development
1922-1923 / W.M. Dudok

Edisonplein, Ampèrestraat, Voltastraat, Morsestraat, Hilversum

Dudok designed the sixth municipal housing complex as a courtyard with a square central square with a lawn around which the houses are grouped. A road gives access to the Edisonplein.

The low houses are supplemented in line of sight from the access road by houses in two layers under a bent roof that continues on one side to the tras window. Through a gate you walk to the street behind.
