Designvision
The residence on Jacob van Lennepstraat forms part of a building block dating from around 1900. During this period, Amsterdam expanded its livability and housing capacity, with the first ring of urban growth emerging on the southwest side of the canal belt. The architectural character of this era is reflected in the façade composition and the rhythm of the three-part window divisions. This first-floor apartment is thoughtfully designed and offers a surprisingly spacious atmosphere. The floor plan presents a clear division: living at the front, sleeping at the quiet rear. The living room spans the full width of the apartment and overlooks the canal. Large windows bring in abundant daylight, while the high ceilings enhance the sense of space. The kitchen is centrally positioned, serving as a logical and connecting element between the living and sleeping areas. At the rear, the bedrooms offer tranquillity and privacy, with direct access to the balcony. The bathroom is centrally located and well-proportioned. Every aspect of this home has been efficiently arranged and finished with taste and care.
Living and cooking
The living room is situated at the front and benefits from three large windows overlooking the street and the canal. The generous width and open layout create an efficient and well-usable space, filled with natural light across its entire width. The finishes have been recently modernised in calm, neutral tones. The herringbone-patterned wooden floor provides a consistent and elegant foundation throughout the apartment. Centrally positioned within the space is the kitchen, which is logically connected to the dining and sitting areas through a central island. The kitchen features handleless cabinetry, modern built-in appliances, and a light natural stone countertop. The island’s bar function provides additional seating, allowing for informal use of the space. The open floor plan and continuous flooring create a practical living area that is both functional for daily life and easy to furnish.
Sleeping and bathing
At the rear of the residence are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom offers ample space for a double bed, a large wardrobe, and a comfortable seating area. With its southern orientation and double windows featuring French doors, the room enjoys abundant natural light. From here, the balcony is directly accessible. The second bedroom is functional in size, suitable as a guest room, children’s room, or home office, and also provides access to the balcony. The bathroom is centrally located within the apartment and finished with refined attention to detail. It features a timeless combination of white wall tiles, a natural stone washbasin countertop, and a wooden vanity unit with storage. The space includes a bathtub, a walk-in shower, and a heated towel radiator. The layout is efficient, and the proportions are practical for everyday use.
The outside
At the rear of the apartment is a balcony of approximately 5 m². Facing south, it enjoys sunlight for most of the day, while the surrounding buildings provide a sheltered and private setting. This makes it a practical outdoor space, ideal for both relaxation and everyday use. The balcony is accessible from both bedrooms and offers enough room for seating or a few planters. The floor is finished with wooden decking, and the space is well integrated within the architectural profile of the façade.
