The building Het Schip (The Ship) marks the high point of socialhousing in the Netherlands.
Here, workers were not only provided with good quality accommodation, but they were also given a beautiful home. Characterised by unusual brick bonds and richly decorated with works of art, The Ship was aptly described as a workers’ palace. Even as early as the 1920’s, architects from all over the world came to see the building and to this day it still attracts a great deal of interest.
