Within Amsterdam’s financial district lies a mapped zone of skyscraper office blocks and apartments, as well as a growing number of landmark buildings that has recently become home to spearheading expats and locals.

Here Framework Studio crafted for a family with a strong eye for design and sustainability, a layout and interiors that would enhance the space’s potential rather than try to fight it. At the heart of the construction is a spiral staircase that swirls down from the roof to the ground floor like cascading silk. This became the focal point for the rest of the project, not only to connect the floors but to diffuse light throughout the house allowing the space to feel open and simultaneously private.

Framework’s trademark is the passion for creating comfortable homes that enhance the client’s lifestyle. And that is evident all around this project, from the softness of the materials used in the interior,plaster walls, a mix of hardwood and terracotta floors – to custom made furniture and auction finds.
