Lonely Planet review

This remarkable housing estate (1920) is a flagship of the Amsterdam School of architecture, located west of Amsterdam harbour. The triangular block, loosely resembling a ship, was designed by Michel de Klerk for railway employees. The museum shows workers' apartments and the ex-post office with the original interior. It is now home to the Documentation Centre for Social Housing, with a permanent display of architecture called Poste Restante.
