Amsterdam that did have a bathroom, but the rent of these houses were higher than people from the slums could pay. Zomers Buiten rented its houses primarily to skilled artisans with permanent positions at the municipality of Amsterdam. Between the Klaprozenweg and Sneeuwbalstraat, the municipality built around 600 houses. The first 183 houses were completed in 1927 and the final ones in 1929. Only working-class houses were built, which were then rented out to working-class families by the Amsterdam Municipal Housing Service. Certain tenants came from Asterdorp, a village for "inadmissable" families, which was dissolved in 1940. In the centre of Floradorp, the Binnenhof was conceived. This place was formed by multiple houses with tented roofs, meant for older people. At this time, it was very uncommon that separate homes were built for the elderly. The construction of new homes in Floradorp were often the reason for various strikes and conflicts. An overview from 1930 gives a clear view where the first residents of Floradorp came from: 144 from uninhabitable declared homes, 14 from expropriated homes, 72 from substandard homes, 202 from overcrowded homes, 123 from Obelt (same type of village as Asterdorp), 20 from Asterdorp, 6 from a houseboat, 22 lived with other tenants, 1 newlywed, 1 from outside Amsterdam and 1 public servant. Renovations The Municipal Housing Service renovated Floradorp in the mid-1990s. The brick outer walls were given a pastel-coloured plaster coating, which got decorated with tiles. The plaster coating also acts as external wall insulation. The small homes at the Binnenhof were merged, losing their original location.
