Homes with character
Frans van Mierisstraat 90-94: A building with a rich history and timeless class. Once designed as an office and warehouse, it was thereafter used as an art storage facility. It is set to undergo a transformation into 18 loft apartments: light, space, height and fantastic outdoor spaces in the heart of Oud Zuid. Modern homes that fulfill every wish for modern living, redesigned with respect for the craftsmanship of earlier days. Depot becomes Dépôt. Times may change but character lives on.

A building with history
Distinctive architecture
The Dépôt Zuid building, designed by Jacot & Oldewelt, was built in 1905. Together these architects designed many wonderful shops with overhead apartments along Amsterdam’s most famous shopping streets.
Transport by de Gruijter
The building was designed as a new office and warehouse for de Gruijter & Co Furniture Transport, who were granted Royal purveyor status in 1920, having handled the relocation of King Willem III.
National storage
Since 2004, this building has been used as a depot for the Rijksmuseum. It houses among other things, workshops, a study room and a scientific library with prints, drawings and photographs from the 18th and 19thcenturies.
The architect`s vision
The original building was freestanding. Later two extensions were added to connect it to the rest of the development on the street. We will demolish the annexes. By doing so we can create gardens and terraces. Inside large, loft-like apartments will be created. The floorplans are open, with overlapping zones for living, cooking and sleeping.
