Architect Robbert de Goede has remodeled an old inner-city sports gymnasium in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and transformed it into a modern home that includes a large open plan main floor.
The main floor, which has concrete floors, includes the living room with a fireplace on one side and a kitchen on the other.

Also on the main level is a dining room, which is highlighted by a large rug and art on the walls.

There are wood and matte black cabinets in the kitchen. The island has been designed to hold more stools, thus creating a more casual dining area.

Central to the home are the striking black stairs that lead up to the bedrooms and bathrooms. A huge tobacco plant was placed as a central and vertical piece.
The long railing of the stairs, the doors, and window frames on the walkway are all made from Yellow Cedar.
