Home renovation Amsterdam · Design-led renovation studio

Homes, elevated.

Penthouses, villas, wooden houses and canal houses, taken from first sketch to final finish by one studio in Amsterdam.

Villa, Amstelveen — 2026

A studio, not a contractor

We take on around twelve homes a year and give each one our full attention. One team designs, builds and finishes, so there is always one person to call.

All projects

What we take on.

  1. 01

    Full renovation

    The whole house, reorganised around how you live and where the light comes in.

  2. 02

    Kitchens

    Designed as the centre of the home and made in our own workshop.

  3. 03

    Bathrooms

    Stone, oak and light. Rooms to spend time in, not pass through.

  4. 04

    Extensions

    More room and more garden at once, with the permits handled by us.

  5. 05

    Interiors

    Colour, joinery, lighting and furniture, resolved as one picture.

    New build

    A new house on a plot you love, designed and built by the same team, start to finish.

Villa, Blaricum

A calmer way to renovate.

Six stages, one team, one person to call. You know the price before we start building, and what happens in week forty is decided in week one.

  1. 01

    Conversation

    Forty-five minutes at your home. Fit, ambition, budget, timing.

  2. 02

    Design

    Plans, materials and light, developed with you over six to ten weeks.

  3. 03

    Detail and price

    Every element specified. One fixed price, before a wall comes down.

  4. 04

    Permits

    Municipality, monument status, VvE and neighbours. We handle all of it.

  5. 05

    Build

    Our own team and workshop. A weekly report, a clean site, no surprises.

  6. 06

    Handover

    A finished home, a maintenance guide, and one call a year later to check.

Fixed price after design. One contact throughout.

The studio

A small studio in Amsterdam.

We are designers and makers under one roof: an architect, an interior designer, a project lead and a workshop that builds most of what we draw. Nothing is passed to a subcontractor you have not met.

We take on around twelve homes a year. That is deliberate. It is the number at which every project still gets the founder in the room.

Meet the studio

Start with a conversation.

Forty-five minutes at your home or in our studio. No cost, no obligation, and an honest answer about whether we are the right studio for your project.
