Govert Flinckstraat, Utrecht

Clever design, natural materials and a considered use of space give this fully renovated 58 m² apartment in De Pijp a warm and inviting feel. Across two storeys, the layout was reimagined and extended with a new roof addition.

On the main living floor, the new layout centres around a large, well-equipped kitchen made for extensive cooking with friends and family, while keeping the living area open, light and spacious.

Upstairs, the roof extension finally makes room for a long-desired bathtub beneath a beautiful skylight, perfect for stargazing before bed. The colour tones echo the kitchen below, giving the bathroom a light, pleasant atmosphere with earthy terracotta accents.

The bedroom serves as a true sanctuary, with high ceilings and a woody, natural look. A custom-made wardrobe with sliding doors in oak frames and rice paper pays tribute to Japanese design.

The result is a home that feels calm, light and easy to live in.
