There are residences that immediately captivate. Not only through what is visible, but above all through the way space, light and the use of materials converge. Highview 266 is such a residence. Situated on the twentieth floor of the iconic STATE building, with panoramic views in every direction and a finish of exceptional quality.
Tour
The entrance of the STATE building is spacious, light and representative. Elevators lead to the twentieth floor, where tranquillity is immediately noticeable. In the central hall of the apartment unfolds a well-balanced floor plan, with a logical division between living, dining and sleeping. The living spans the entire southern façade of the residence and, thanks to its corner position, offers panoramic views across the city. Large windows provide abundant natural light and a strong connection to the outdoors. The space is atmospherically composed with subtle materials and warm accents. The dining area forms the heart of the living quarters and connects the living with the open kitchen.
The kitchen, positioned on the western side, features a generous island, high-quality appliances and bespoke cabinetry. From the kitchen, there is direct access to the terrace, which stretches along the façade and looks out over the water and the skyline of Amsterdam-Oost. The terrace is partly covered and equipped with heating panels, allowing year-round use. On the eastern side of the apartment are the bedrooms. The primary suite includes an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, Sunshower and a washbasin executed in natural stone. Adjacent lies a spacious walk-in closet, fully customised. The second bedroom, also situated along the façade, has its own bathroom with bathtub and double vanity. The residence is entirely single-level and equipped with underfloor heating, built-in wardrobes and a separate laundry room. The routing is efficient, with wide corridors and a carefully considered layout that combines privacy with comfort.
Outside, the terraces form a seamless extension of the interior. With their southern and western orientation, sun as well as shade is available throughout the day. Glass balustrades ensure unobstructed views of the urban landscape, the Amstel and the surrounding greenery. STATE Amsterdam distinguishes itself not only by architecture and location, but also by the level of service and overall quality. This elevated apartment combines tranquillity, space and views with a level of finish that has been executed with meticulous precision.

Highview 266
There are residences that immediately captivate. Not only through what is visible, but above all through the way space, light, and materiality come together. Highview 266 is such a residence. Situated on the twentieth floor of the striking STATE building, it offers sweeping sightlines and finishes of exceptional quality. Tranquillity, openness, and panoramic views—this apartment presents a rare combination of design and experience. Every detail has been carefully orchestrated: from the interior design to the flow of spaces, from the terraces to the perspectives. Here, living is elevated to a higher level. STATE itself is an architectural statement, and this apartment is its embodiment. Whether for daily living, representation, or quality of life, Highview 266 meets every need.
Designvision
Living at great heights in an architectural statement – that is life in STATE. The iconic building, designed by MVSA Architects, marks the skyline of the Bajeskwartier as an urban landmark along the Amstel. From a distance the building appears powerful and sculptural; up close it reveals layering, finesse and an unparalleled sense of light and space. STATE combines vertical elegance with horizontal transparency. Expansive glass surfaces alternate with deep, staggered balconies and dark façade elements, creating a rhythm and verticality that recalls international high-rise architecture. The base is open and inviting, while the upper levels appear to float. A subtle bend in the tower lends the building its own signature and enhances the panoramic views from the apartments. Characteristic is the sharp, triangular façade form, inspired by the famous Flatiron Building in New York City. This shape not only gives STATE a distinctive silhouette, but also ensures spectacular sightlines and an unusual incidence of light in the corner apartments. The result is a building that is both expressive and functional — a sculpture to live in. From this apartment on the twentieth floor, a fascinating panorama unfolds. Its location on the eastern side of the city – in Overamstel – offers an exceptional perspective on the Amstel, the greenery of Park Somerlust and the skyline of the city centre. Here, tranquillity and vibrancy come together: a sense of distance and connection at once. Inside, the design has been carefully attuned to the quality of the view. Sightlines remain unobstructed, ceilings are high, and the outdoor spaces extend seamlessly from the living areas. The rhythm of the façade becomes tangible inside through the changing play of light, which transforms throughout the day and gives the interior a lively character.
Living and cooking
The living area spans the entire southern façade of the residence, with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. The city unfolds as a continuous backdrop, shifting in tone with the daylight. The layout is open yet carefully composed: lounge, dining and kitchen flow seamlessly into one another, each retaining its own identity. The interior, designed by Mariska Jagt and featured in the anniversary edition of The Art of Living Magazine, is a study in harmony. Materials, textures and colours are attuned with meticulous precision. Built-in cabinetry, wall finishes, furnishings and lighting form a cohesive composition. The kitchen, positioned on the western side, is centred around a generous island, fitted with high-quality appliances and ample storage. Dark cabinetry is paired with a light natural stone countertop and brass accents. Its arrangement invites togetherness, with direct access to the adjoining terrace. Here, the transition between indoors and outdoors becomes natural and effortless. The dining area is positioned at the heart of the residence, adjacent to the hall, forming a visual link between living and kitchen. The living room, set on the southern side, accommodates multiple seating arrangements and opens onto the second, larger terrace — a place to lounge, unwind and take in the sweeping views.
Sleeping and Bathing
The primary bedroom is positioned on the southeast corner, offering views in two directions. Tall windows provide abundant light and a sense of openness, while the selected materials create an atmosphere of calm and intimacy. Adjoining is an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, Sunshower (UV and infrared), double vanity and bespoke cabinetry in natural stone. Adjacent to the primary suite lies a generous walk-in closet with a ‘his & hers’ arrangement. This space can, if desired, be reconfigured as a third bedroom. The second bedroom, also situated along the façade, has its own character and outlook. Originally designed as two separate rooms, this layout can easily be reinstated. The second bathroom is fitted with a jacuzzi with light therapy, a double vanity and a spacious walk-in shower. In the hall, a separate laundry room offers connections for both washing machine and dryer.
The Outdoor Space
The residence offers two outdoor spaces with a combined surface of approximately 68 m². The larger terrace, facing west, is directly accessible from the living room. Its orientation ensures sunlight throughout the day, with the option of retreating into shade when desired. Glass balustrades provide unobstructed views of the city, the water and the ever-changing sky. The second terrace adjoins the kitchen and is oriented to the east. This setting is perfectly attuned to the morning light and forms a natural extension of the cooking and dining area. Both terraces are generously proportioned, allowing for multiple arrangements, and constitute a full-fledged enhancement of the living experience.
