Apartment Amsterdam

The architect

Situated on the edge of Amsterdam’s Vondelpark is this apartment with its own lift. Based on the design by interior architect Mees Hurkmans - Meesderwerk, the apartment was fitted out by Vonder using American walnut and dark-coloured oak. The consistent use of a number of carefully selected natural materials throughout the home creates a sense of tranquillity and space. The materials are the only source of colour.

A central block

The central block in the property is clad in dark oak, which has also been used for the doors and wall units. This block houses a variety of functions including cloakroom, storage, meter box, the lift and a wall unit. This element forms a division between the kitchen, the dining room and the living room, which would otherwise all be in the same open space. The bathrooms are fresh and light thanks to the white fittings and the white Corian sink cabinets. The sand-coloured travertine lends the room a natural warmth.
