The ultimate house conversion design & planning
Total renovation of a house in Amsterdam
Attic lost space converted into livable space
The property is located near the historic Rembrandtpark in Amsterdam. The 200m² of this brick-style house had not been renovated for 30 years. It was time to fit out this Amsterdam house! For the owners and their two kids, we designed a space where light and noble materials work together to create a serene place to live.
Our clients came to us with one primary goal – to make their house comfortable, open, airy and bright, and to accommodate the frequent visit of their extended family and friends. A modified layout for the second and third levels of the house maximizes the views to the backyard with natural light.
A roof extension was added to the attic to create a master bedroom and master bathroom for the parents. At the ground level, a spacious open living and kitchen connects to the main staircase that takes you through all parts of the house. The space under the stairs is cleverly designed to accommodate additional storage, and a space for their dog!
The main aim was to modernize the house while preserving the spirit of the place. The brief included transforming the ground floor into a large living room, designing a master suite in the upper floor. The new open kitchen, where Mediterranean elegance meets Spanish charm. The rich terracotta hues invite warmth, perfectly complemented by the curved blue wood storage that adds a touch of whimsy. Custom carpentry is featured throughout the project, all kitchen carpentry elements were bespoke and made by our talented carpenter team. The living room and dining areas feature a new custom library and detailed panel work. This space is designed to create a relaxing atmosphere, showcasing luxurious elements inspired by the beauty of Spain Greece, and Italy. The seamless flow into the backyard enhances the culinary experience
We transform the kids' bathroom into a stylish and functional space with a refreshing update. The new tile and vanity in sleek black and beige tones create a modern yet inviting atmosphere. The new bathroom is perfect for both playtime and relaxation, it combines practicality with a fun aesthetic!
We convert the attic space with a very large dormer addition! Our design focuses on maximizing space and natural light, ensuring the attic is both functional and inviting. With top-notch thermal insulation, this addition not only enhances energy efficiency but also elevates the value. The owner can experience the benefits of extra space and brightness that the new dormer brings!
The new attic master bedroom and bathroom feature a rich color palette that enhances the overall ambiance the space. Warm hues blend seamlessly to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, while striking accents add depth and character. This thoughtful design choice not only elevates the aesthetic but also fosters a sense of tranquility and relaxation. The owners can enjoy the perfect balance of luxury and comfort in their beautifully transformed new bedroom!
