Studio Ruim Architects

History reborn, detail by detail. In this monumental canal house in Amsterdam, Studio Ruim Architects merged old grandeur with modern guts. Think open-book Arabescato marble, and a floating steel staircase that leads to terraced gardens and a centuries-old water well. Everything feels original, even the parts that aren’t. From a kitchen in raw steel to theatrical living space in Belvedere marble, every room tells its own story. Nothing is standard. Everything is considered.
