A Modern Home in a Historic Amsterdam Canal House

A former diamond polishing factory in Amsterdam has been converted into an apartment complex. The canal home dates back to the 19th century but inside, the interiors are modern and grand.

The 332 square meter home on the ground floor of the historic building has just been renovated. The spacious home is designed into a perfect blend of high-end, comfortable living and a peaceful atmosphere.

All of the materials, interior pieces, and lighting have been carefully chosen, from Arabescato marble and Belgian travertine to fittings created by Dutch designer Piet Boon.

The design is minimalistic, each item is carefully selected and with a combination of textiles it still feels warm and very stylish.
