Design vision
As part of De Pijp, and in particular the development around Sarphatipark, this building was constructed during the fin de siècle period. A time when neoclassical architecture set the tone, with grandeur and designs that reflected French influences. The facades were designed according to the golden ratio and richly decorated with ornaments. Large windows, bay windows, and balconies give the buildings around the park their elegant appearance. At Sarphatipark, where the city shows its most classic side, a generously proportioned upper floor apartment with character unfolds behind a carefully restored facade. The architecture, detailed with natural stone accents, decorative brickwork, and a stately entrance, bears witness to a time when aesthetics and craftsmanship reinforced each other. Inside, this line is effortlessly continued. High ceilings with original ornaments, a classic fireplace, and richly profiled moldings give the interior a refined look. The height of almost three meters creates a generous sense of space. Historical details, such as the marble fireplace and the window frames, have been preserved and carefully restored. The atmosphere is calm, timeless, and balanced. The layout is logical and well thought out: the bedrooms bathroom are on the second and third floors, while the top floor is designed as a living area with an open-plan kitchen, dining area, and sitting area. On top is a spacious Roof terrace. The levels are connected by an internal staircase that blends naturally into the layout. The combination of classic elements and a modern, functional layout gives this home a characterful yet contemporary feel, a natural match for the location.
What the residents will miss
This is a house that brings happiness. Every morning when we come upstairs, we are delighted by the view.

The high, atmospheric period rooms on the first two floors form an exciting contrast to the loft-like, very wide and high living floor. Through a number of renovations, we have been able to enhance that loft feeling over the years. The sturdy steel, ceiling-high fireplace is one of the interventions that still evokes a wow feeling in that regard.
Another wonderful thing about this house is the many spacious Rooms, whether we use them for sleeping, working, or making music. We have lived here for over twenty years. Our son was born and raised here. And we have never felt the urge to leave. The space inside, the park with a playground on our doorstep, the many amenities—shops, schools, restaurants—the nice neighbors, the good accessibility to the ring road: all these things have made this house a wonderful home for us all these years. We are now entering a different phase of our lives, also as a family. A different house suits that better. But this house by the park will always have a place in our hearts.
