The residential building Bronckhorststraat 11–37, Bartholomeus Ruloffsstraat 15–19, Joh.M. Coenenstraat 8–26 in the Oud-Zuid district of Amsterdam was built between 1922 and 1924 based on designs by the Dutch architect Jan Frederik Staal (1879–1940). The four-storey building, built on a U-shaped floor plan around an inner courtyard, was created in the course of the expansion of the city of Plan Zuid, which had been implemented since 1917 . It is considered exemplary work of expressionist Amsterdam School and is, like the neighboring Huize Lydia , since 1996 as Rijksmonument under monument protection .
