Jacob Obrechtstraat II

Amsterdam South

The monumental building in the South of Amsterdam along the Jacob Obrechtstraat was a former office and has been converted by Van Mourik Bouw into two large high-end apartments. An extra floor was built on top of the existing building, which increased the height of the building by 4 meters. In addition, all roofs of the building are equipped with a green roof.

Details

Due to the regulations of monumental buildings, it is not allowed to add extra weight in the building. To solve this, Van Mourik Bouw worked with lightweight air base floors. The apartments are also equipped with a separate humidification system to maintain the right humidity level. Furthermore, the apartments are equipped with a complete home automation KNX installation.

The top floor has two huge sliding doors that can be opened and cover the entire storey. The staircase in the apartment is a custom-made staircase, completely executed in walnut and is spiral- shaped.
