The Bergpolderflat in the Rotterdam district Bergpolder (corner of Abraham Kuyperlaan and Borgesiusstraat) was the first gallery flat in the Netherlands .
There was a common washroom in the basement and modern, for the time, amenities such as central heating and the right to a free bucket of warm water.
In Bergpolderflat cases were first applied generally, later, as the gallery with a balcony, central staircase and open the glass walls.
There is still the traditional wooden construction beams, but with three layers is a fireproof concrete floor.
de Tijen disputed such criticism by stating that "the houses were mainly designed for modern young people who like simple, light and space."
