warehouse, amsterdamThis ground-floor warehouse home between Bloemgracht and Bloemstraat was dark, with an impractical layout. The owner also wanted an extra bedroom. With the windows being located at a height of three metres, a smart solution was required to create extra space while also retaining the existing daylight. By sinking the floor by 30 centimetres, enough height was created for a ‘floating’ glass bedroom, allowing daylight to filter through to the living room. Beneath this suspended cube, enough room remained for a spacious open kitchen. VASD custom-designed most of the furniture for this project. High-quality materials such as Murano glass, Belgian bluestone, and American maple offset the bare plaster. |
