Description

This single-family apartment for four people is situated in a stately building in southern Amsterdam, Netherlands. The original structure, with rooms for staff, a double hall and long hallways with lots of doors has been transformed into a spacious, transparent dwelling full of light and air.

A kitchen in combination with cabinets from floor to ceiling has laser-cut front panels, all spray-painted white. This pattern resulted in a dynamic mixture of open and closed cabinets, the holes also function as integrated handgrips. The transparency of the object’s skin gave depth to the volume, which is complimented by the furniture. An atrium with open staircases allows natural light to enter from a large roof skylight into the living area.

Alongside the open staircase a two stories high wall is covered with clear pinewood, connecting the two levels. Upstairs the master bedroom is situated next to a large bathroom with structured tiles by Patricia Urquola, glass, and wooden cabinets.
