Hubertus House, Amsterdam
Plantage Middenlaan 33-35 
Year of construction: 1980 

Hubertus House is wedged between 19th-century buildings on Plantage Middenlaan. The building's size and dimensions fit in well with the other buildings, however, it stands out because of its bright rainbow colors. The Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck designed the Hubertus House. 

Mother House
Hubertus House, nicknamed the 'Mother House', was established in the 19th century to support 'fallen women'. From the 1970s the house has offered shelter and protection to single parents and children. The staircase is a central feature of Hubertus House and clearly visible from the street. The supporting construction is a concrete construction of columns and floors. The non-retaining interior walls are made of glass. The staircases, terraces and passages make this a fascinating and intimate building. Intimacy is important in this house because of the circumstances of its occupants.
