Private Residence No.4 — Studio Michiel Wijnen

Design for Hospitality

Studio Michiel Wijnen x Marc de Groot Design - Private Residence No.4, Amsterdam, 2021

High-end Amsterdam loft, as fruit of an excellent collaboration with Amsterdam based designer Marc de Groot. The exterior is part of Berlage´s urban expansion plan - Plan Zuid. All of the existing interior has been completely stripped, leaving a blank canvas to create an authentic luxury environment. A complete interior design, created in close dialogue with the client. All joinery, cabinets and kitchen were custom designed.
