Beulinck, Beulingstraat 8 – 10
Welcome to Beulinck: a striking neoclassical building on Beulingstraat first constructed in 1857 and soon to be a high-end and sustainable private office space. Located between Amsterdam’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed Herengracht and Singel canals near Spui, this 862 sqm open-plan four-story building stretches nine windows wide and includes an outdoor patio and mesmerizing light-filled loft with views over the city. An architectural gem that will be entirely gas-free complete with heat pumps, solar panels, and heat recovery systems.

Expected completion: Q4, 2023.

History
Beulinck is a space that stays with you. Named after one of the area’s residents from the 1660s, Gerrit Jansz Beulinck, the building at Beulingstraat 8–10 was first constructed in 1857. In 1876 it was converted into the headquarters of insurance fund, Algemeen Ziekenfonds, by architect Pieter Johannes Hamer. It remained the insurer’s HQ for the next century. DME Amsterdam is proud to be its third owner and to bring its history and character into the modern age.

The building
Beulingstraat 8–10 is a celebration of late 18th-century neoclassical architecture. The era’s symmetrical design flows from the outside in. The exterior features its signature temple roof, ornate door archway, plaster columns; and cornice around the middle window with a triangular pediment to emphasize the entrance.
The original façade will be lovingly restored. Brickwork and plaster will be deep cleaned and details repainted to match the era’s color palette. Lighting and black awnings will be installed across all nine windows on the second floor to make the building’s presence known from day to night. Its original skylights and windows will also be refreshed with black aluminum frames.

Interior
An inviting mix of warm tones, high ceilings, oak Versailles flooring, underfloor heating, and thoughtful lighting all contribute to ease and inspiration. Modular spotlights will be used across the walls and ceiling with Lodes pendant lighting used in the shared spaces.
Every level will feature luxury toilets (except the loft) with the convenience of a shower on the second floor. The walnut kitchen will come with all the storage you could need and will be finished with durable marble benchtops. The building’s two ornate stairwells will be supported with a new elevator decorated with matching Versailles flooring and white walls. All the luxuries to do business in comfort.

Layout
This four-story property offers plenty of possibilities for collaboration and quiet reflection. Be welcomed on the ground floor with the spacious lobby, located in the center at house number 8. To the left, the fully-equipped kitchen with dining area, and to the right, workstations.
On the first and second floors, workstations, comfy breakout spaces, and sophisticated meeting rooms stretch across. Each room will be divided with oak wooden frames filled with glass for endless light. Both of these levels will also have toilets and kitchen essentials.
The third floor is the glass loft with views across Amsterdam. This area will be furnished with lunch tables, bar, and a grand kitchen with appliances. The finishing touch is the glasshouse: a peaceful nook on the rooftop with spectacular views. This will be fitted with a bar and matching stools.
The basement will be refreshed with new windows, and a new patio will be added to the rear of the property; crafted from terracotta tiles and filled with olive trees for a piece of serenity.

Sustainability
This renovation will adhere to the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM-NL): the world’s leading science-based suite of validation and certification systems for sustainable buildings. Beulinck is expected to achieve the BREEAM Very Good certification, at the very least.
Beulinck will be fitted with solar panels, two heat pumps (A++ level), air conditioning (Mitsubishi A++ model), and a heat recovery system on all floors (Itho Daalderop A++). The building will be completely gas-free.
The property will be fully insulated using the so-called 'box in box principle'. This means that partition walls will be installed at the front and rear façades. Floor and roof insulation will also be used. This helps reduce heat loss in winter and maximize cooling in summer. The HR ++ glass secondary windows also support this.
Water-saving devices will be used throughout, and power usage will be minimal thanks to LED lighting control systems such as sensors and timers.
With our commitment to comfort, air quality, and sustainability, conscious choices have been made during construction and finishing. The materials used have been selected for their circularity and low CO2 emissions.

Neighbourhood
Beulinck is located on the Beulingstraat: a charming side street on the boundary of Grachtengordel-West and Grachtengordel-Zuid in central Amsterdam. On the edge of the famous Nine Streets area, this 400-year-old trade neighborhood is rich with boutique retailers, culinary destinations, and monumental Dutch houses. Collect local delicacies from Banketbakkerij Het Koekemannetje and De Kaaskamer van Amsterdam or the best sourdough from Bakery Wolf. After hours, there’s no other place like the Hoxton Hotel or the Pulitzer for a cocktail or a night’s stay. The Dylan hotel houses the informal Bar Brasserie OCCO and the Michelin-starred Restaurant Vinkeles.
On Beulingstraat itself, dine close by at Beulings or the Italian restaurant Pianeta Terra. Both restaurants were recently voted the best restaurants in Amsterdam (Top 20) with restaurant Beulings making the top of the list.
