Narva Island is a unique residential area in Amsterdam’s Houthavens where history, Sustainability contemporary living come together. The island is part of a transformed neighborhood along the IJ, where former timber docks have been redeveloped into a vibrant urban district with a distinctively Amsterdam character. Narva Island consists of three sub-areas: Houthaven DEF, Narva Island West, and Baken van Narva. The name Narva refers to the Estonian Baltic Sea port of Narva, which was historically important for the timber trade with Amsterdam. Although the neighborhood is still young, it already feels mature and well-integrated. It is thus a successful urban expansion of the western islands.
Narva-Baken is part of Baken van Narva and was designed by the Rotterdam-based architectural firm Klunder. Stefan Fremouw designed the two end buildings of the block, which stand identically mirrored across the inner street at the head of Narva Island on the IJ side.
These buildings conclude the building volume—which previously resembled canal houses along the street—with a more apartment-building-like appearance. This is emphasized by horizontal lines, abundant glass, and terraces. In addition to glass, the facade features elegant brickwork with slender, elongated bricks, giving the building a light appearance.
The end building consists of four apartments that share a common entrance. The apartments are oriented on three sides, providing plenty of light and views and giving the floors a spacious character. The floor plans were largely flexible from the outset, and the first buyers also had the freedom to customize the finishes. For the current owners, this was the motivation for choosing this particular development.
Drawing on a creative background, a home has been realized in which both the layout and the finishes have been thought through in detail. With a focus on functionality, living, dining, working, sleeping, and bathing flow organically into one another. In the finishes, the use of materials, color, and detailing form a consistent whole. The quality, discipline, and craftsmanship give the apartment timeless added value, where living and working come together naturally.
Life in this apartment is defined by light and views, with an unobstructed vista of the ever-changing waters of the IJ. The living area stretches approximately 14 meters, featuring large windows and terraces that mark the transition to the outdoors and ensure a seamless connection.
Inside, a balance is created between spaciousness and intimacy, with a layered layout that provides space for dining, relaxing, and working. The oak floor in a herringbone pattern, combined with underfloor heating and cooling, and the round tiled columns provide character and comfort, while the sleekly plastered ceiling underscores the refinement.
The kitchen forms an integral part of the living space and is organized around a central cooking island that serves as the functional and aesthetic heart of the room. Crafted in black wood and veined marble called Stormy Glazier, featuring veins in lime and bronze tones, with subtly integrated Gaggenau appliances, it creates a space where cooking and socializing naturally come together.
The layout not only provides a spacious and thoughtfully designed living area; the bedrooms and bathrooms have also been designed with the same attention to detail. The home features three bedrooms, two Bathrooms a separate study.
The master bedroom is executed with understated elegance and a soft, almost feminine approach in color and material selection, including Inkiostro Bianco wallpaper. Rounded shapes and refined details bring a sense of calm, while custom built-in cabinets provide a well-thought-out layout and practical storage space, including niches for art.
The two bedrooms have a more playful character, with subtle details that allow for individuality and a light, youthful atmosphere.
The master bedroom’s ensuite bathroom features a beautifully designed double vanity in wood, with rounded shapes and a white countertop, combined with a wall finished in Stormy Glazier marble, featuring lime-colored veins, and a mirror. The space is equipped with a toilet and a spacious walk-in shower. Brushed brass faucets by Vola and towel warmers lend the space a sense of understated luxury.
The second bathroom is accessible separately and offers the same level of quality, with the added feature of a freestanding oval bathtub. Additionally, there is a separate toilet and a separate laundry room.
The difference between an outdoor space and a high-quality outdoor space is clearly evident here. BAKEN No. 244 features approximately 30 m² of terrace space, Immediately to the living room.
