This Monumental Bell Gable house carries centuries of history. The home dates back to the 1700s' and spans over 5 floors. To connect its many rooms, we used color and light as wayfinding tools. Illuminated cord cuts through the space in the stairwell like a 3-Dimensional drawing. Floating and meandering between the floors to create a new spatial experience. The lounge area and bedroom overlook the canals and the kitchen opens up to the spacious garden. The top floor is fitted with a soundproof cinema, while the souterrain holds a gym and a workshop. Outside you will find a private wellness.
