Living in a warehouse

Amsterdam has many warehouses along the canals dating from the 17th centrury when Amsterdam used to be a major trading center. The former warehouses are not in use anymore and most of them are converted into apartments. They are high brick built structures often on narrow and deep plots. The facades end in a top and feature large shutters close openings. In the top is a hoist beam mounted.
