Dutch architects i29 have designed an apartment in Amsterdam that is full of holes!
The studio i29 specialises in interior design, working to a model in which architecture and interior decoration coexist in harmony. The combination of architectural elements and the treatment of surfaces are part of the extensive research the office carries out into the design of interior space.
Known as Home07, the residence has been converted from office space into a pleasant, bright and airy home.
At the heart of the home, a central structure built around the kitchen connects to the staircase leading to the upper floor, whose walls are clad in Swedish pine. A series of cabinets with polygonal, laser-cut holes forms the surface of the structure that frames the kitchen. Besides being a decorative motif, the holes also serve as handles for the storage spaces hidden behind them, while offering “hidden glimpses” of their contents.
The result is extremely dynamic. The contrast between the natural wood and the white surfaces, the transparency the perforations give to the surface, and the combination of closed and open cabinets all add visual depth to the space.
