UXUS are pleased to
present a private residence located in a historic building on one of
Amsterdam’s famous canals. The home is located in a 250m2 18th century
warehouse with a panoramic view over the city. The interior of the loft
situated in an old sugar warehouse built 1763, had remained in its original
state for almost 250 years and the owners wanted to keep as much intact with as
little intervention to the space as possible. In keeping the original open-plan layout UXUS created a series
of dramatic curtain walls that could be opened and closed according to the
needs of use. Made of luxurious Italian linen, the curtain walls are opaque
when lit from the front yet transparent from behind. At night, the
space becomes a series of glowing tents, creating the effect of a surreal
interior landscape.
All of the
decorative interior elements were selected to reflect the eclectic tastes of
the owners.
