About Kiefhoek Workers’ Housing
The last large project of social housing built by Oud was the one developed in the Kiefhoek neighborhood at the south of Rotterdam. Many times, historians have noted the affinities between Kiefhoek and Hoek Van Holland as examples of a new trajectory for the modern renovation of the minimum and rational housing. Benevolo shows them as paradigms of an initial state of the open construction of the modern movement. We must agree of its undeniable contribution to the development of the modern social housing. Nonetheless, We are interested in the Kiefhoek housing because of its urban solution that are similar to previous examples. El último de los grandes proyectos de vivienda popular construidos por Oud, fue el realizado en el barrio de Kiefhoek al sur de Rotterdam. En multitud de ocasiones se han destacado las afinidades ente los conjuntos de Kiefhoek y Hoek van Holland como ejemplos de una nueva trayectoria en sintonía con la renovación moderna de la vivienda objetiva, mínima y racional. Benévolo los presenta como paradigmas de un estadio inicial de la edificación abierta del Movimiento Moderno, y es ciertamente innegable su valiosa contribución al problema de la vivienda obrera moderna, encontrándose significativos reconocimientos entre sus contemporáneos. Sin embargo, de Kiefhoek nos interesa ante todo resaltar su solución urbana, de la cual podemos decir que ofrece planteamientos que están todavía en consonancia con actuaciones anteriores. If we look at carefully, we can see that Oud chose, as in Oud Mathenesse, two-height dwellings with a flat roof; a tipology that for continuous streets, was not usually used. Regarding to the general plan, we can observe that Kiefhoek occupies the inner part of a large estate with its perimeter had plots that were already built or were going to be soon.
