Design Apartment Im Loft Stil Mit Freiem Blick Über Das Ij Und Die Skyline Von Amsterdam

With unobstructed views across the Houthavens, the IJ and the Pontsteiger, stretching to the skylines of Amsterdam city centre and Amsterdam-Noord, this loft-style design apartment of approximately 147 m² occupies the seventh floor of the award-winning Superlofts project by Marc Koehler Architects. This impressive residence features two bedrooms, a Finnish sauna and a sunny terrace, among other highlights. Generous window sections and ceiling heights of up to five metres enhance the sense of space and make the surrounding panorama an integral part of the living experience.

Layout: The entrance is located on the seventh floor and can be reached by lift or via the communal staircase. You enter the apartment through a welcoming hallway with a cloakroom area.

From the hallway, the apartment opens into a generous living floor that runs the full depth of the building, offering unobstructed views on both sides. At the front lies an open-plan Bulthaup design kitchen with a cooking island, fitted with Gaggenau appliances and integrated into high-quality, bespoke cabinetry that continues the clean lines of the interior. The large window sections and ceiling heights of up to five metres flood the space with natural light and lend it a distinctly loft-like character, with views across the Houthavens, the IJ and the Pontsteiger. At the rear, the living room flows into a seating area with direct access to the sunny south-east-facing terrace, which adjoins the living space.

One floor up, accessible via the landing, are two bedrooms with peaceful, far-reaching views. The bathroom is fitted with a washbasin and a spacious walk-in shower, complemented by a Finnish sauna, while the toilet is housed separately. Thoughtful, bespoke storage along the landing keeps the rooms uncluttered and contributes to the refined finish throughout.

Finally, the basement of the building houses a spacious, easily accessible private storage room and a private parking space with a lift system (not included in the asking price).

This sustainable home was completed and renovated in 2018 with great attention to detail, under the direction of Marc Koehler Architects, and is equipped with modern installations including district heating, a heat-recovery ventilation system, underfloor heating and cooling, solar panels and home automation. The layout is also flexible, making it possible to extend the living area. In addition, connections are already in place to easily create a second bathroom.
