Primary Threat: Subsurface Droughts & Wooden Pile Rot
Recent consecutive European summer droughts caused groundwater levels to plummet below the tops of historic wooden foundation pilings, exposing them to oxygen and wood-eating fungus that causes catastrophic foundation failure.
The Sanctuary & Its Fragile Ground
Overlooking the peaceful tree-lined Prinsengracht canal, this upper-floor residence features exposed oak rafters, leaded glass windows, and a tilt of two degrees that tells the physical story of Amsterdam's shifting ground. Step away from tourist nightlife to understand the Dutch civil engineering marvel of living with, and respecting, water.
