Willemsparkbuurt and Vondelpark
Willemspark, which was named after King Willem III, was originally designed by the Zochers, a landscape architect father and son duo. It was designed to be a villa park around the ponds and avenues that continue into Vondelpark. It was an urban development plan with organic lines, to counter all the straight roads and corners.
One of the most striking elements of the plan is the central vista, which runs through Emmaplein square along Kings/Lane to the Willemsbrug bridge, one of the monumental entrances to Vondelpark.
The first villas were built in the area between Vondelpark and Koninginneweg in 1902. Overcrowding, dense urban development, and foul-smelling canals were turning the city centre into an unpopular place. It wasn’t an overnight success. Wealthy Amsterdam residents initially opted for houses inside the ring of canals or in the ‘t Gooi area, which offered good train and tram connections, rather than the bare, unwelcoming plots of the new houses. Over time the area developed into a chic neighbourhood with imposing townhouses, wide avenues, and a private park. Nowadays it is one of the most-sought-after locations in Amsterdam.
