The Space
In a very classic monumental canal house build in the beginning of the 17th century we designed a very light classic apartment with modern details. Its very sunny positioned with a lot of big windows. The space consists of 2 very light rooms with high ceilings with the original white glossy beams and 2 classic hearths. The original wooden floors are also dressed in glossy white. It all together creates a dazzling look and feel.
Between the front room and the backroom, both with their own entrance the kitchen and the bathroom is located. The concrete bathroom is comfortable and stylish designed with cool products and sustainable materials.
The chill benches in the rooms are made locally with natural products. Opening the big rooms provide you a sunny retreat, even in wintertime, with an indoor terrace.
The bed is made from natural latex and covered with eco soft velour. All the wooden furniture is made from recycled material. The fabric from the curtains is fair made. The soft cotton on the bed and the eco towels in het bathroom supplies the luxury feeling that fits on this location.
