\"Amsterdam<\/div>\n

Dutch firm Studio &Space has refurbished a time-worn house<\/a> in Amsterdam<\/a>, transforming it into a family home with bespoke furnishings and sophisticated finishes that evoke the feeling of a high-end hotel.<\/span><\/p>\n

The owners, a female couple of entrepreneurs with two young children, tasked studio founder Maike Borst with modernising the 1930s home, located in the heart of Amsterdam Zuid, after moving back to the city from the countryside.<\/p>\n

The house’s interior had not been renovated for many years, so the Studio &Space<\/a> team oversaw an extensive project that brought the 275-square-metre interior up to date while retaining original features such as the bay window, stained glass and arched doorways.<\/p>\n

“I have always admired 1930s architecture for its craftsmanship, detailing and simple geometric shapes, and this house is a beautiful example,” Borst told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“Just like the owners, I fell in love immediately with the iconic spiral staircase that connects the floors and defines the character of the home,” she added.<\/p>\n

“I knew from the start that I wanted to honour and highlight the original details while designing an interior that respected the home’s heritage.”<\/p>\n

At the same time, the programme needed to provide contemporary comforts and spaces suited to family life, including a gym, sauna, two bathrooms, four bedrooms, a walk-in closet, and a play and TV room.<\/p>\n

To accommodate all this, Studio &Space connected the main house to a garage and a small shed at the rear of the property, which also created an internal entrance to the garage.<\/p>\n

The original spiral staircase was extended to the attic level and a dormer window was added to accommodate the gym and sauna.<\/p>\n

The interior scheme was informed by the clients’ love of travelling, especially to the south of France, where they often spend quality time staying in high-end hotels with friends and family.<\/p>\n
