Graaff & van der Heiden Residence
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Type
YEAR
2007
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
Situated on Steigereiland, one of the new islands in Amsterdam, this four-story row house is the result of the
clients’ desire for a house with the character of a traditional Amsterdam row house, the
transparency of tropical architecture, and a Balinesian garden. Chosen in order
to decrease the building phase on site, the pre-cast concrete structure is
laterally braced by the walls flanking the central staircase, allowing the
façade and rear elevation to have full-width glazing on every floor. Inspired by the Indonesian background of one
of the owners, an external screen of elliptical red cedar slats provides
privacy and adds depth to the façade.
These slats continue to the top of the house where they screen the glass
balustrades of the generous roof terrace. The house was deliberately designed
as four distinct floors connected by a central open stair that acts as a spine.
Giving subtle distinction to each floor, the number of divisions in the glazing
module increase per floor. The elegance
and restraint of the red cedar and anodized aluminum are complemented by the
playfulness of the graphic red door and the floating pink frame marking the
location of the bathroom sink.
