In the Spaarndammerbuurt, Het Schip is a well-know social housing complex build in Dutch architecture style 'De Amsterdamse School'. You can join a walking tour around the building and visit one of the model houses, kept in original style. It also features a museum, but I believe this is mainly in Dutch.

Daytrips
The beautiful city of Haarlem (my hometown) is worth a visit. It's only 15/20 min train ride from Amsterdam Central station. This historical town has a gorgeous central market square with the Bavo church at the hart. The oldest museum of the Netherlands is located here too, the Teylers museum. You can also visit the Frans Hals museum, take a canal tour, or take a tour to visit the 'hofjes' (courtyards). Check the local tourist board on the Grote Markt for information. Don't miss out on cute shopping streets such as the Kleine Houtstraat. One of my fav restaurants is Specktakel, just behind the Bavo church.
