Studio Elèn Letort completes renovation of Amsterdam apartment

  • Studio Elèn Letort renovated a three-floor maisonette in a 17th-century former merchant's house in Amsterdam's Herenmarkt.
  • The clients wanted a home to display their art, design objects and travel souvenirs.
  • The interior was intended to feel expressive and characterful while still calm, refined and easy to live in.
  • The project focused on aesthetic and spatial improvements because the apartment was already in generally good condition.
  • The upper floor was reorganized to better separate the main bedroom and bathroom.
  • The palette centers on rich wood tones, natural materials and subtle color accents to add warmth and tactility.
  • Historic features like original wooden beams were paired with walnut cabinetry, steel worktops and fluted glass.
  • The design draws on the building's history and Dutch Golden Age references.
  • Furniture and objects combine archival design, contemporary pieces, custom details and the owners' collected items.
  • Pieces were sourced from Les Objets Amsterdam and other selected brands.
