By merging several small houses, a spacious apartment was created on the second and top floors of two adjacent buildings.

 

A new staircase in the building on the right leads directly to the entrance on the second floor.

The original dividing wall between the two buildings and a new transverse wall organize the resulting double-width floor into four equal, unnamed rooms.

 

On the attic floor, a complex steel structure distributes the load of the roof, which would have been too low for habitation without this structure.

On the street side facing north, a long counter with skylights above it was built

At the rear, a sliding door opens wide from the middle onto the terrace.

 

 

This project was awarded the Mart Stam Prize in 1995, the triennial prize for interior architecture from the city of Amsterdam.
