XOOMlab architects drew inspiration for High End from Jan Schoonhoven, one of the most influential Dutch abstract artists of the twentieth century. Schoonhoven created objective art using geometric and minimalistic principles. These principles are reflected in the vertical rhythm of High End’s façades. The minimalist architectural language is given an elegant twist through the use of gold-coloured anodised aluminium. Sustainability was essential during the design process. The apartment features underfloor heating (district heating – gas-free) and individual solar panels, earning it an A+++ energy label. High End was constructed in accordance with the latest sustainability and energy-efficiency standards, achieving an EPC of 0.2 – nearly energy-neutral and far exceeding the current requirement of 0.4. Each apartment is equipped with its own set of solar panels. Rainwater collected on the rooftop is used to irrigate the greenery on the balconies. The green roof contributes to an improved microclimate. Comfort is closely linked to sustainability: underfloor heating provides a pleasant indoor climate. High End is gas-free and future-ready. The building features a central entrance with lift access. The entrance hall includes a custom-designed wall finish with integrated LED lighting. A shared, covered bicycle storage offers ample space and charging stations for e-bikes.
The kitchen-living space is designed as an open-plan environment, where cooking, dining and living blend together effortlessly. At the heart of the space stands a generous kitchen island with bar, designed for informal interaction and seamless connection to the living area. The kitchen is finished in neutral tones and includes a practical wall unit with ample storage. Thanks to the large expanses of glass, the space is filled with natural light. A sliding door at the rear opens onto a spacious terrace. This outdoor space flows naturally from the living area, extending the usable surface and enhancing the sense of openness. The living room at the front enjoys a view of the adjacent greenery. Its rectangular layout and generous proportions provide great flexibility in furnishing. Ceiling height and clean sightlines further amplify the open feel of the space.
The apartment offers a well-considered layout with three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate toilet. The primary bedroom is generous in size and features a full-width built-in wardrobe and dedicated workspace. The second and third bedrooms are ideal as children’s rooms or home offices. All bedrooms enjoy abundant natural light through tall windows. The centrally located bathroom includes a bathtub, walk-in shower, and a double vanity. The landing contains additional built-in storage and a concealed laundry cupboard. The toilet is separate and accessed from the hall.
Urban living increasingly means seeking greenery close to home. This apartment offers a south-facing terrace of approximately 10 m² that spans the full width of the residence and includes integrated greenery, seamlessly connecting inside and outside. The rooftop is a so-called ‘polder roof’, which retains rainwater to nourish the balcony gardens and gradually releases it to the surroundings.
