RENOVATION: The canal house underwent a meticulous transformation from 2016-2019, carried out by The Collective Studio's renowned design team. Buoyed by the mastery of both national and international artisans, the property exhibits craftsmanship and sustainability. The restructuring of the 1614-built canal house included a completely renewed foundation and the detailed restoration of all original building elements. This has preserved a classical aesthetic, with an inner serenity that blends harmoniously with the dynamism of the urban environment. The residence has therefore acquired an exceptional symbiosis between timeless allure and modern lifestyle and is a National Monument. The property resides in the unmistakable epicentre of Amsterdam's historic core, with the charming ambiance of the 9 streets and a short walking distance from renowned icons such as Dam Square, the W Hotel, Hoxton and the Soho House. Words and images fall short to encompass the unique experience this residence has to offer. We therefore invite you to come and experience this unparalleled atmosphere and execution in person during a viewing.
