The building
In the 19th century, Amsterdam saw a series of architectural styles from the past being reinterpreted. The most popular architectural style in the second half of the 19th century was Neo-Renaissance, a style period in which the Dutch Renaissance of the 16th century was reinterpreted. Characteristic of Neo-Renaissance are the horizontal, natural stone layers between the brickwork and the stepped gables, which are almost indistinguishable from those of the Renaissance period. The historical sentiment was now only reinforced by even more exuberant use of decorations. The same was true for shops, which wanted to stand out in order to attract customers.
The building on Kazernestraat was renovated in 2012 with great attention to detail. Among other things, the foundation was repaired, new window frames with HR glass were installed, the roof was replaced, and the facade was restored. Thanks to this renovation, the apartment has been awarded a very good energy label, namely A.

What the residents will miss
We fell in love with the light and the high ceilings of this apartment. It was also a perfect canvas for the interiors we wanted to feature within our home.
Both being creatives, we were able to style the interior with our favorite pieces we've collected over the years from living in London, New York, and collecting our favorite pieces from European antique collectors.
We have invested some key features in this apartment over the last few years – ones that we’ll miss dearly.
The first thing we did was to strip and re-varnish the floors, which made the apartment so much lighter, with a nicer tone of wood which sets it apart from many other Dutch apartments.
The terrazzo kitchen countertop is a beautiful feature – we worked with a local Dutch artisan to create the exact type of terrazzo we wanted to remind us of some of our favorite Italian kitchens in Puglia and Calabria. I love how thick it is and that it’s quite an unusual terrazzo you don’t see often.
I also work from home, so we decided to commission a bespoke cream steel door to be installed – to make sure the kitchen and living area felt separate from the bedroom and bathrooms. This time working with a local Dutch steel welder, we had this handmade – this door allows us to keep the light flowing through the apartment and having it cream meant it doesn’t look like the standard black steel door. It blends in perfectly when open or closed.
The kitchen sink is also a favorite bespoke feature, again working with a local craftsman on individually tiling it to give this checkerboard effect. I will be sad to leave this terrazzo and checkerboard sink. Something we will look to create in our new home.
Both the front and back balconies get morning sun and evening sun – something that was a deal breaker when looking for this place. I will miss the sun on my face with a drink in my hand.
And finally – our wonderful neighbors. The last few years with Covid have been a bit strange, and everyone is so kind and welcoming. They are the kind of neighbors you wish you have when you move to a new place.
