Monastery House | Bureau Fraai

In the former Sint Lucia monastery in Bennebroek, The Netherlands, Bureau Fraai has made a
interior design transforming a part of a characteristic monastery into a high-quality townhouse
while maintaining the characteristic qualities of the monastery. By introducing a new oak
staircase with slender steel railings, the living room on the ground floor is connected to the
basement on the one hand and the sleeping floor for the children and the multifunctional attic
floor on the other. By introducing a robust oak element in this attic, the large space with
authentic trusses is divided into a sleeping area with Jacuzzi, a bathroom, a walk-in closet and a
mezzanine with workplaces. The bed and Jacuzzi are embedded in an elevated stage.
