Canal House Brouwersgracht, Amsterdam

A contemporary house in a monumental setting

Along the canal in Amsterdam, these two buildings have been merged into a single residence. On the canal side, the design blends seamlessly with the surrounding monumental architecture. Inside, the house feels bright and spacious. By slightly reducing the building volume, two small courtyards were created. Green roofs with grass and sedum herbs provide a lush view within this otherwise dense and enclosed urban block.

Canal warehouses are often quite dark inside, so a lot of windows were combined into one large opening that fits seamlessly into the historic streetscape while flooding the interior with light.
