Home 07: A Spacious and Transparent Dwelling in Amsterdam

A Unique Transformation of an Historical Building

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, with the holes also functioning as integrated handgrips. The transparency of the object's skin gives depth to the volume, which is complemented 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, connecting 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.

The design specifications of Home 07 are impressive, with a total area of 150 m2. The use of smart integrated functionality allows for a dynamic mixture of open and closed elements, creating a spacious living environment within the historical building.

The Home 07 project was brought to life by the talented team at I29 Interior Architects, with the construction expertise of Smart Interiors and the interior build by Kooijmans Interiors. This collaboration resulted in a design that seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with the historical charm of the building.

Recognized for its outstanding expertise and innovation, Home 07 was awarded the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2011. This award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate excellence and introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder. The transformation of the stately building into a spacious and transparent dwelling truly showcases the remarkable level of excellence achieved by the design team.
