Never Too Small

26-Feb-2024
Recently, the Jordaan district in Amsterdam has become notable for its adaptive reuse of buildings. As the neighbourhood has gone through various phases of transformation, many of the old warehouses and industrial buildings have been repurposed into residential spaces, galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. This preservation and adaptation of historical structures contribute to the district’s cultural value and provide a sense of continuity with its past.
Designed by Carla Radoll and Bruno Graca of Hum Studio & Gallery, this 33sqm/355sqft apartment in Amsterdam is a great example of adaptive reuse done well. The architects, who also happen to be the owners, aimed to create a space that combines the charm of a hotel with the comforts of home.
