Sustainability and renovation works at H401 / House of Gisèle

Due to renovation works, H401 / the House of Gisèle was closed to visitors last year. The building had a big series of works to implement sustainability measures to preserve the unique historical interiors in the years to come and to improve access to the house.

Currently, we are working on the renewed concept for our visitors after the re-opening of the house of Gisèle, as well as on our ongoing international cooperation projects ‘Training for the Contact Zone’,  ‘Peace and Mobilities’ and ‘CONTESTED DESIRES: Constructive Dialogues’ continue as scheduled. You can follow the developments of these European Union-funded projects via our site and socials. 

All the works are executed under the close supervision of our restoration supervisor VDVDP Architecten, Monumenten en Archeologie / Gemeente Amsterdam and several other experts, e.g. Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (RCE).

We thank you for your understanding and we look forward to welcoming you in the autumn of 2025.

In the meantime, we can leave you with a sneak peek of our current look! Our contractor specialised in historical restoration made this short film, available here.
