Apartment renovation & interior
Nieuwendam, Amsterdam - Design & execution
A-Z renovation of a worn and dreary 60’s 2-bedroom. By refurbishing a second-hand kitchen, floor and furniture the total spend was kept below €14.000. Tranquil and minimal with lots of natural materials and patina. Bathroom and toilet finish: Microcement. Floors: American Walnut.
Materials & Process
A central feature of the apartment is the American Walnut floor. The starting point was a tired looking batch of used boards with lots of potential. To bring out this potential, I painstakingly selected boards for matching/complementing grain, and placed the most beautiful pieces in highly visible spots. A polished coat of hard wax further brings out the grain.
As the apartment was to become a rental, Microcement was chosen for the bathroom and toilet. In addition to its beauty, Microcement is durable and highly practical in terms of cleaning.
