villa, amstelveen

This 1930s house has been completely refurbished after a bad renovation. While inside everything was stripped and redecorated, outside great care was taken to restore the period features. These included the narrow windows with steel window frames, which were returned to their original state. Extra windows were also added to doors and walls, affording outside views from all angles inside. Every detail has been taken into account: the walls and ceiling merge seamlessly with the window frames and the ceiling even flows smoothly from inside to outside, where it joins the exterior roof overhang. Doors open out onto the outdoor terrace on the garden side. This has changed the entire focus of the house from the busy road in front to the sunny back garden.

    [tekst_nl] => Deze benedenwoning in een pakhuis tussen de Bloemgracht en de Bloemstraat was onpraktisch ingedeeld en erg donker. De bewoonster wilde bovendien een extra slaapkamer. De ramen zitten op 3 meter hoogte, dus er moest een list worden verzonnen voor het creëren van extra ruimte met behoud van daglicht. Door de vloer dertig centimeter uit te graven werd voldoende hoogte verkregen voor een ‘zwevende’ slaapkamer van glas, die het daglicht doorlaat naar de woonkamer. Onder dit sculpturale blok ontstaat een behaaglijke ruimte voor de open keuken. VASD ontwierp vrijwel alle meubels op maat. Hoogwaardige materialen als Muranoglas, Belgisch hardsteen, Amerikaans esdoornhout zijn gecombineerd met ongeschilderd stucwerk. 

    [tekst_en] => This 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.
