I feel that I should defend the cleanliness of our grout — it really is cleaner than it looks in the picture!

Apartment Singel by Laura Alvarez Architecture Amsterdam-based studio Laura Alvarez Architecture has completed the Apartment Singel project. The architect has completely renovated and redesigned the interior of this 1,290 square foot duplex apartment located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Apartment Singel by Laura Alvarez Architecture: “Renovation and interior design of a two-floor apartment in Amsterdam. The building is catalogued as a national monument. Architect Alvarez says: The main idea was to transform the dark and claustrophobic existing apartment into a bright loft and at the same time bring into view special elements of the ancient building. A 70 m2 living area is located on the first floor. A series of satin-glass walls have been introduced in the upper floor to bring natural light into the lower level and the bathroom. An oak gray-painted window bench provides a seat to enjoy the beautiful view towards the Amsterdam channels. A nut-wood sliding door gives the possibility to close off the entrance hall from the living space.
