THE BILDERDIJK NORTH-BUILDINGS [bdN]
[written 2008 / info re 2008] ... in process
To the north of
the old Bilderdijk building are 3 apartment buildings with an office-like
street-level. The whole street-level, and level-1 of the two north buildings,
were occupied by the Tetterode Collective in 1988/89 - the apartments above (L1 to L4 in building one and L2 to L4 in buildings two
and three) are now occupied by private home-owners, completely
independent of the Tetterode Collective.
After
the original 1901 Tetterode factory building in Bilderdijkstraat was extended
upwards in 1906, a subsequent northward extension was built by the Company between 1906 and 1908.
This building is a unique type within the fold of Tetterode - a street-level
office topped by homes. Its office level is emphatically expressed as separate from
the conventional apartments above - differentiated by stone facing and capped
by an entablature inscribed with the Tetterode Co. titles over three
shallow-arched bays - it acts as a bizarrely unrelated neo-classic 'plinth' for
its surmounting apartment block. This office extension is said [by Jozef] to
have been used for printing the Company newspaper, and its apartments rented to
Tetterode workers. Two more modest early 20thC buildings (presumably not built
by Tetterode) continue the theme northwards, their street-level units now
renovated as a single office-like facade.

The
3-arched 'building 1' was built by Tetterode just before 1908 as office
extension and employee housing. The two further office/residential
'buildings 2/3' are of unknown origin. The bdN enclave's entry
is
via the round-windowed green door
[pic: rt]
at the old building's north end.

FACADE - BUILDINGS 1/2/3
(pic 26-10-06 / to WWN)
Viewed
over the roofs of Tetterode's N-end workshops and kindergarten are levels 2 to 5
of the
buildings that extend the old Bilderdijk
block to the north. These are ordinary city flats completely seperate from
Tetterode - only their street-level and the furthest
building's level 1
(all invisible behind the workshops) are continuous
with Tetterode Collective's domain. The only
bdN-enclave
space
east of its
corridor
is its original 'woongroep' meeting venue - now its work-display room &
mezzanine store. The
triangular roof-window of
this projecting display space is in front of the kindergarten's west end
[pic cntr].

BILDERDIJKSTRAAT
NORTH-BUILDING (bdN)
(Architect-Drawing:
c1984 / Section WWS to EEN)
This cross-section through the bdN
buildings cuts across the most central of their street-front office-spaces
(now Sara Kramer's studio); the enclave's access corridor; its east-side
'display-space'. The access corridor bisects the building's ground-floor,
limiting the intrusion of N-end work-spaces. Only at this centre does the
enclave expand to the east, projecting its 'display-space' into the
workshops' domain.

THE BILDERDIJK NORTH ENCLAVE
HOME &
WORK-SPACES ("the WOONGROEP")
[written 2008 / info re 2008 - NB: this portion of Tetterode was not visited before May
2008] ... in process
This
final Tetterode enclave occupies the five erstwile
Company office-spaces along
the buildings' street-front; extends
to the rear (into the domain of
the N-end workshops and kindergarten) a
2-level artwork 'display-room' and store-space, and intrudes
a separate 4-room space onto
level-1 at its north end.
The enclave originated
in
the late 1980s as the
meeting place of a 'woongroep' [1]. Initially seven people lived here and
used the 'display-space' for meetings - subsequently this became an exhibiting space
for the work of four of the residents [2]. Since ####
Jozef has been the only remaining resident, however the resulting conglomerate of one live-work home, four rented
work-spaces,
a shared kitchen, and a shared display/store-space - though now mainly used by people from outside Tetterode
- still deserves the appellation 'enclave' because it has
that entity's typical spatial cohesion around a locked access-corridor, and its sense of social
identity ... its present users
still call it "the Woongroep".
The
enclave is strangely entered. Its row of five street-front spaces is punctuated by
five street-doors - seemingly each space has its seperate access - however all these doors open to stairs
which exclusively serve the private flats above. In fact all the enclave's
spaces, including its unit on the first floor, are accessed through an internal almost unnoticable door in the north wall
of the old Bilderdijk block's north-stair passage (via street door 163),
or accessed from Da Costakade, across the kindergarten's playground to a locked passage
(serving as fire-escape) which slices through the N-end between workshops and
kindergarten, and enters the enclave via its rear 'display-space'.
The enclave's street-front row of apt, work-spaces and shared kitchen are shown
below in order from the south to the north end; then
the level-1 work-space of Tatyana, and lastly the enclave's two-level 'display space' and
store:

NOTES:
1.
"Woongroep" - a 1970s term for a social group that was formed to
discuss some ethical/social principle - for instance a feminist group.
2. These four included a photographer, a fashion-designer, an artist
(Jozef).

TATYANA
VAN WALSUM & YVON VISSER DESIGN-STUDIO (1998 -) [bdN-L1 / W-side N-end 2 bays]
The workplace of
theatre-set designers: Tatyana (theatre desiger) and Yvon (product designer), occupies
level 1 of Bilderdijk's two northernmost buildings. This self-contained complex
of spaces, though used only
as a working venue, still conveys a sense of 'home'. A stair, set
into the corridor wall like a cupboard, mounts to a domestic seeming hallway,
off that a store-room opens; then two linked spaces: a well equipped kitchen and
a sort of sitting lobby lead to a large workroom in which a theatre set for
Hamlet was in process of design.

ENCLAVE 'DISPLAY SPACE'
AND STORE (19##
-) [bdN-L0+L1 / E-side cntr]
The enclave's only space to the east
of its access corridor is the meeting place of the original woongroep - now a
display space for enclave artists/designers. It projects into the N-end workshop/kindergarten
complex where it acquires its own roof-window [ref: pic of exterior E FACADE above].
Its inner portion intrudes a store space up onto the building's L1 - a room
centered on its stair which extrudes a 'passage' cul de sac ...all furnished
with strange junk.
