15. “I am building a canal house”
Area Description
Curved ‘ canal wall ‘ of canal houses in a row. Each house can be different - detached or terraced. The Binnensingel
looks most like a moat of former Dutch towns where the backs of the houses are on the water. On the landward

facade line is fixed. The front facade line may vary.

‘Prosperity’ Character? Quality?
Basic key-based genre criteria for individual terraced houses ‘from the Welstandsnota 2007:
• Placement and appearance of new homes are attuned to the existing character of the immediate vicinity or
expected development. This relates to both architectural characteristics (size, scale, color and materials) and on
the public area of roads, green and water;
• Expansion to lead to a new balanced block form.
• The transition between the individual properties is carefully detailed and dimensioned.
