Thanks to the creative relationship between new modern elements and the original characteristics of the interior, this house by the canals in Amsterdam features a lightweight approach that harmonises space, light and air.
This charming loft, full of life and standing on one of the famous Dutch canals, has recently been refurbished by Houtwerk BV – a member of the HI MACS® Quality Club – who based their work on a design by architecture firm Witteveen Architecten.
The home is characterized by the spaciousness of its rooms, the feeling of freedom and movement and luminosity resulting from the whiteness of its walls with large windows.
The home is characterized by the spaciousness of its rooms, the feeling of freedom and movement and luminosity resulting from the whiteness of its walls with large windows. The presence of HI MACS® can be seen in most of the rooms, providing a touch of modernity to a space in which some of typical Industrial era brick walls have been preserved, combining old and new.
A large part of the customized designs for Canal House were created using HI MACS® Solid Surface material in its Alpine White shade. For this project, the architects opted for the clean, minimalist lines offered by this finish, which maintain uniformity throughout the house, at the same time as contributing a unique character to each space, differentiating it from the others.
Moving on to the master bedroom, this room was built as an extension of the existing loft, which was renovated so that it would match the aesthetics and materials used throughout. The clean lines of the room are the perfect complement to the soft, smooth feel of the acrylic stone, while the striking craftsmanship and high level of finish do justice to this building’s grand history.
The matching bathroom, at the back of the bedroom, is literally “made” from HI MACS®, including both the floor and the walls, as well as the shower and bespoke sink with personalized basins. To fit this wonderful, luxurious bathroom, the floor was reinforced into order to support the weight of the customized bathtub.The choice of materials creates a juxtaposition between the cutting edge elements made from high tech materials, and the industrial timelessness of the space. The final result is impressive and the visual contrast between the contemporary white and the original elements display a very interesting combination of styles.
