On the south bank of the IJ, where the city opens up towards the water, stands the De Europa building. Designed in 2011/2012 by Claus and Kaan Architects, the complex is part of the Overhoeks urban development, an enclave of contemporary housing where tranquility and urbanity alternate.
The building has a powerful, rational design language — understated and clear. The white-gray natural stone facades are constructed in a strict grid of concrete columns and horizontal bands, which together create a rhythmic facade layout. Wide balconies are recessed into the structure, softening the facade with shadow and depth. The result is a serene composition, in which architecture and environment are in balance. The apartment at Overhoeksparklaan 258 is located on the fourth floor, with a facade width that is fully south-facing. Large glass windows ensure a maximum connection between inside and outside. Inside, the layout is logical and spacious: open, light, and well thought out. The rooms are connected by long sightlines, without compromising on comfort or security. What makes the building special is how it blends into the green setting along the water. De Europa connects seamlessly to the public domain, with a well-maintained entrance area, low hedges, and a view of the IJ. From the apartment, you look out over the flowing water, the footpath, and the greenery that gives this location its calm character — a rare quiet spot in the heart of the city.
The living area is bathed in light. Large windows Immediately draw your gaze Immediately , where the IJ river stretches out like a living horizon across the full width of the apartment. The seating area is modest and spacious, with a calm layout that allows the architecture to do its work. The open connection to the terrace not only makes the living room larger, but also more dynamic — here, you live with the light and the water. The kitchen is located on the other side. A corner layout with thoughtful simplicity: white fronts, a composite worktop, and integrated Siemens appliances. Above the stove, a robust extractor hood floats like a subtle statement. The deep sink, the double window, and the clever view through to the dining area reinforce the feeling of an open living space. Here, you can cook without losing the connection to the rest of the house. The dining room is a natural extension of the kitchen. A long table, surrounded by design classics and warm materials, invites you to linger over a meal. Artworks on the wall provide rhythm, while the red Asian cabinet brings color and character. This space exudes a balance between functionality and personality. Everything is imbued with a certain tranquility. This is not only due to the refined finish and carefully chosen furniture, but above all to the way in which light and sightlines come together. Here, you feel part of the city, without ever feeling that you are letting it in.
The bedrooms are located on the quiet north side of the house, separated from the living area and designed entirely for rest and privacy. The current layout features one spacious bedroom with a library, work corner, and a full wall of custom cabinets. This room feels open and light thanks to the wide windows, which not only offer views of the city but also let in a surprising amount of sunlight in the morning hours. The room can easily be divided into two separate bedrooms, as shown in the alternative layout. This creates flexibility: space for guests, a children's room, or a second workspace—without compromising on comfort or atmosphere. The bathroom has a sleek and timeless design. White wall tiles combine with warm brown tones on the floor and accent wall. There is a spacious bathtub, a walk-in shower with glass wall, a toilet, and a double sink with a full-width mirror. The space is efficiently designed and at the same time pleasantly spacious, with underfloor heating and sufficient daylight through indirect lighting. The toilet is located separately in the hall, discreet and practical.
As if the water is at your feet. The terrace extends across the entire width of the apartment and opens up to the southwest—an orientation that means long hours of sunshine, golden evenings, and a vibrant view. The sliding glass doors effortlessly connect the inside with the outside; as soon as they open, the living room and terrace flow seamlessly into each other. The covered part provides shelter, even on warmer or windy days, while the open part provides space for plants, tables, and chairs. The large pots with olive trees, the understated floor, and the view of the flowing IJ make this balcony more than just an outdoor space. It is an extension of the interior — a place for coffee in the morning sun, a glass of wine in the last light. And that view. Ferries come and go, the silhouette of the city stands out sharply, and the water changes color every hour. To the left, you look out over the skyline of the Oosterdok and Central Station, to the right towards the industrial port area with its cranes and contours. It is a backdrop that never repeats itself, always in motion. Below lies the Overhoekspark, a green border that separates you from the water and provides constant tranquility. Walking paths wind between trees and grass, people walk, cycle, or lie on a blanket in the grass. There is a rare balance here between urbanity and nature — exactly what makes living on the IJ so special.
