The Lekstraat Synagogue dates from 1937 and is the last synagogue built in Amsterdam before the Second World War. The design is by architect Abraham Elzas (1907-1995) and dates from 1932. Elzas worked with and was influenced by Le Corbusier (Paris). This is reflected in the Lekstraat Synagogue, which was built in the style of the New Objectivity.
This church building was designed for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the architectural style of the Amsterdam School by the architect F Jantzen .
The Hillehuis, considered a textbook example of the first steps of the Amsterdam School. The result is still fairly traditional, with mainly vertical lines. Construction entrepreneur K. Hille was the client.
