Villa Amsterdam

In the south district of Amsterdam a big notary house is being rebuild by a family that is making the house of their dreams. The new design is related to the shape of the former notary house. The 1000m² villa has a large kitchen, dining and living on the ground floor. In all of these family spaces there is a subtle balance between privacy and transparency. The spaces have a stunning relation with the garden which is designed by Piet Oudolf.
