Family home in Amsterdam

For this family in Amsterdam-Sloten, I was asked to collaborate on their unique urban villa, nestled in greenery. A unique house with the kitchen downstairs and the living room upstairs—a layout that immediately calls for thoughtful choices and a strong, cohesive atmosphere. Downstairs, a striking red kitchen dominated the space; an element the family struggled with. They wondered if this floor could ever become a peaceful, inviting space.

My goal was to bring the tranquility of the surrounding nature indoors. I approached the generous windows as natural works of art: frames that frame the lush greenery outside as if they were paintings. By subtly coordinating colors, materials, and sightlines, the interior merges with the exterior, creating a calm, balanced whole.
Personal elements were also given a loving place.

I had the family heirlooms—a set of cherished chairs—reupholstered and carefully integrated into the new interior. This way, they not only contribute to the family's story but also create a stylish, warm addition to the space. The result is a house that exudes the tranquility of nature, but at the same time has the elegance of a modern city villa: a home where this family can now truly feel at home.
