HOME 07 | i29

This single-family apartment for four people is situated in a stately building in southern Amsterdam, NL. 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 results in a dynamic mixture of open and closed cabinets, the holes also function as integrated handgrips. The transparency of the object’s skin gives depth to the volume which is complimented by furniture like the Grcic chair one. An atrium with open staircases brings natural light from a large roof light into the living area. Along the open staircase a wall of two stories high is covered with clear pine wood, and connects the two levels. Upstairs the master bedroom is situated next to a large bathroom with a finish of structured tiles from Patricia Urquiola, glass, and wooden cabinets. address: Rooseveltlaan, Amsterdam client: private m2: 150 m2 photos: i29 l interior architects constructor: Smart Interiors interior build: Kooijmans interiors materials: pinewood, white epoxy flooring, spray painted white doors, Himacs furniture: Chair one, Magis Constantin Grcic / Loop stand table, Hay / GloBall lights, jasper Morrison, Flos / custom made kitchen & cabinets
