This historic building on the Amstel had bones worth celebrating. Original details, layers of Amsterdam history, the kind of character you cannot build from scratch. Our clients, a creative couple with a life full of art, people and ideas, wanted a home that held all of that history while feeling entirely, unapologetically theirs.

So we did not choose between old and new. We let them live together. Architectural heritage sits alongside bold contemporary choices and family art pieces that tell their own stories. The result is a home with depth where nothing feels accidental and nothing feels precious.

We designed for the life they actually live. Long dinners with friends around a table that can hold everyone. Slow mornings with good coffee in the kitchen, where the morning sun comes in at just the right angle. Entire rainy afternoons on the sofa, watching films, going nowhere. And a nursery, calm, considered, ready for the chapter just beginning.
