Monumental loft, Amsterdam
The space is located in a 17th century monumental canal house in the center of Amsterdam. It is now used as a guesthouse of approximately 90m² that is connected the upper house of 180m².
It is an open space with a high ceiling. We build a white between floor with a sculptural staircase where various functions as the guest bed, movie wall, pantry and toilet have been processed in. The wooden unit contains a Jacuzzi and desk.
All these functions are organically connected through level differences and several stairs, whereby the room can playfully be discovered. The rooms’ atmosphere is defined by the old masonry and the heavy floor joists on the ceiling. The modern sculptural movement of the between floor and the staircase emphasizes this. There is an access made in the rear to the garden.
