During the summer of 2019, I contributed to the renovation of a garden house situated in the heart of Amsterdam. The objective was to create a tranquil retreat—a versatile space where one could work in peace and unwind throughout the seasons. The design focused on minimising the distinction between indoor and outdoor spaces, aiming to seamlessly blur the boundaries. To achieve this, the chosen colour palette was inspired by the natural hues of the surrounding garden, while the flooring extended from the interior to the exterior, enhancing the sense of continuity. In anticipation of warm summers, a natural swimming pool was incorporated into the design. To further integrate the house with its surroundings, I designed full-width bi-fold windows. These allow the entire front of the house to open up, providing the experience of basking in the sunlight while remaining indoors. For the colder months, the emphasis shifted to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A fireplace was introduced as a central feature, offering both heat and a sense of comfort. Additionally, the roof was partially opened to bring in more natural light, enhancing the brightness and spaciousness of the interior.
