A simply stylish renovation of a Modernist apartment

Posted on Thu, 9 Jul 2020 by midcenturyjo

A light and airy open plan was central to Framework‘s renovation of this one bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of the Schouwenhoek, an original apartment building by P.A. Warners, one of the founders of the Amsterdam School of modernist design. Gone are the small rooms branching off a central corridor while a rounded, concrete staircase beckons one up to a rooftop terrace and chillout room. Stylish, modern living while respecting the bones of this modernist building.

Ahhh… I love the Amsterdam School of design and this building is actually in my neighbourhood. Interior is a bit sterile for my taste but it’s so cool to see how they’ve opened it up. Wish there were pictures of the roof deck too.

Misty Pesto says:

I’ve got heart palpitations when seeing the beautiful aesthetics of this clean, colourless space. Living area was love at the first sight. Really nice photography too.
Thank you Jo.
