Amsterdam Apartment Interior by i29 Architects
i29 Architects have completed the interior design for an apartment in Amsterdam.

.
Description from i29:
This single-family apartment for four people is situated in a stately building in southern Amsterdam, NL. The original structure, with rooms for staff, a double hall and long hallways with lots of doors has been transformed into a spacious, transparent dwelling full of light and air.
A kitchen in combination with cabinets from floor to ceiling has laser-cut front panels, all spray painted white. This pattern results in a dynamic mixture of open and closed cabinets, the holes also function as integrated handgrips. The transparency of the object’s skin gives depth to the volume which is complimented by furniture like the Grcic chair one. An atrium with open staircases brings natural light from a large roof light into the living area. Along the open staircase a wall of two stories high is covered with clear pine wood, and connects the two levels. Upstairs the master bedroom is situated next to a large bathroom with a finish of structured tiles from Patricia Urquola, glass, and wooden cabinets.

love the airy, light atmosphere; beautiful! (- but I am really missing some color, just a little bit…)

Just simple black and white…and wood. Love it.

Isn’t Minimalism a little 1990′s?
This apartment photographs breathtakingly well and will feature in many magazines in the next year or so because it is conceptually interesting. But practical for a family of 4 it is not. Children? Black school shoes? On white floors? I don’t think so…
And whilst white is ‘light and airy’, studies have also found white to be one of the least restful solutions for interiorscapes.

I enjoy the minimal(ist) approach to surface treatment and have no problems with the family putting their toys and clothing away. I just wish the dialogue between the textures- the smooth white wall and the wood paneling – had extended vertically, being that the opportunity existed, and that the natural light surprise had not been limited to the stair hall.

In reply to TW:
I’m the owner of the house and I can tell you: this apartment doesn’t only photograph breathtakingly well, it also ‘lives’ breathtakingly well. Even with our two small children. As you might understand; the house doen’t always look as clean as it does in the pics. Normally there are plenty of toys on the floor and plenty of sand and mud. They even bike in the living romm (black rubber wheels!). No problem with this floor. Also very practical: the kids have their bedrooms on the same floor as the living room and kitchen. So we never have to drag them upstairs. Unless we want to go to our marvellous roof terrace (not featured in these pics)… What more do you want as a family of 4?
I think it’s just a clichee to think white is impossible to live in.
Bad architects make ‘magazines houses’; i29 made us a well designed, very beautiful and very practical family house.

It’s an epoxy floor.

People always say that minimalism costs more, so would it be possible to know what what the construction price per square foot/meter of the project was versus a “conventional” dwelling of similar size in that region? It’s a gorgeous space.
Thanks so much-

I really want to know more details about he flooring. It is so seamless and a matte texture. If it is epoxy what kind is it. Is is water based?

Love the lightness and the clean lines of the interior. Could use just a splash of color maybe? Not a lot, just a bit. Otherwise, I think it’s quite beautiful!

The dining table is from Hay, right? Can you tell me the length of table? It looks like it’s longer than 180cm. I was just wondering, since I want to purchase the same one. The Magis chairs fit this table very nice, though the table appears to be very big.

There is only one thing, that they do not mention. It is me, who designed this cut-out structure while working for i29 interior architects last year. And the inspiration was taken only from my head and nature. I hope the next one i will design will be even better. Greetings to all readers. Kinga Kubowicz/King Kong Design
