Our clients asked for a total renovation and extension of this existing row-house. The house was to be rented out, so we had a white canvas to make our design. Therefore we opted for a neutral background of white walls and wooden floors with different color accents per level: blue tones on the ground level, terracotta on the first, and pale green tones on the top floor. These are color combinations that were popular during the time of the construction of the original house in the 1930’s.

We made a modern extension to the back patio and kept the historical look on the new top level facing the street, so it would fit with the surroundings. With these two additions the house almost doubled its usable surface making it better fitted for a family home.

The central stairwell was opened up to let more light into the middle of the house.
The 1930’s-inspired color schemes of the bathrooms vary per level.
