We were immediately excited when HAUT was first announced in 2018. What a beautiful building in a fantastic location. It didn’t take us long to make up our minds.
We chose a west-facing apartment with an unobstructed view of the Amstel.
We lived in Bloemendaal and owned an estate in Italy, where we stayed for several months each year.
Our plan was, after Anton’s retirement, to enjoy the Italian outdoor life more and combine that with an apartment in Amsterdam. “The best of both worlds.”
The building’s international appeal, its location on the Amstel, an ideal position relative to public transportation and major roads, a lively neighborhood with various restaurants right next door, sports facilities, and the popular Rivierenbuurt with great shops within walking distance—this was exactly what we were looking for.
We quickly found a buyer for our house in Bloemendaal and decided to stay in Italy until HAUT was completed.
There, we had plenty of time to focus on the finishing touches and interior design of our apartment.
In Italy, we have 25 years of experience in design and interior decoration, so we felt it was a logical step to hire our Italian craftsmen.
That’s why everything you see in the apartment is Italian design. The floor tiles, the (tiled) walls, the cabinets, the kitchen, the bathroom, and the furniture. We bought everything in Rome and had our craftsmen install it. A fantastic project.
“We absolutely love our apartment, but after years of traveling back and forth, we’ve decided to settle down in one place and move to Italy.
Of course, we hope the new owners will enjoy the apartment just as much as we have—the beautiful building, the wonderful neighbors, and the vibrant neighborhood.”
