Design-Led 1-Bedroom Industrial Loft in Amsterdam's Houthavens

Located on Haparandaweg in the redeveloped Houthavens district, this unusually spacious 85 m² one-bedroom apartment combines clean contemporary finishes with an industrial concrete ceiling and warm timber cabinetry. The open plan gives two guests generous room for longer stays close to Amsterdam’s western waterfront.

Spacious Open-Plan Interior

The main room brings together a tan leather sofa, additional seating, a dining table for four and a minimalist fitted kitchen. Wide windows, pale flooring and carefully placed plants and artwork soften the architectural concrete, while the open layout allows daylight to travel throughout the apartment.

The raw ceiling remains visible across the full reception area, providing an honest industrial counterpoint to the precise white cabinetry and bespoke timber joinery. At 85 m², the loft gives two guests exceptional room to move between lounging, dining and work without compressing everything into one corner.

Design Details and Flexible Space

A full-height timber wall incorporates storage and helps define the transition toward the bedroom, while a pale sliding panel can increase privacy when required. Indoor planting, colourful art and a large rug make the architectural shell feel warm and lived-in rather than austere.

Contemporary Kitchen

White handleless cabinets sit within a full-height timber surround, complemented by integrated ovens, an island, sink and generous worktops. Pendant lights mark the dining area, creating a practical setting for cooking and eating at home.

The broad island allows more than one person to prepare food, and the full-size integrated appliances support regular self-catering during an extended stay. The dining table seats four comfortably and can also serve as a substantial work surface for professional guests.

Bedroom and Bathroom

The double bedroom is separated from the living area by a pale sliding partition and timber storage wall. It includes broad windows, shelving and direct access toward an open vanity area with a long mirror. The apartment also provides a modern bathroom and laundry facilities.

The sliding design lets guests choose between a more continuous loft atmosphere and a clearly private sleeping room. A long timber vanity creates generous personal space, while the broad bedroom window maintains the apartment's bright character. Storage is integrated discreetly so the minimalist interior remains uncluttered.

Houthavens Surroundings

Houthavens has developed from Amsterdam’s former timber harbour into a modern waterfront neighbourhood known for contemporary architecture, canals and links to the city’s maritime past. The adjacent Spaarndammerbuurt, Westerpark and Westergas area offer shops, cafés, green space and cultural venues. Connections toward both Centraal Station and Sloterdijk make the location practical for work and city travel.

The waterfront setting rewards walking and cycling, with modern bridges and former harbour routes providing a different perspective from the historic canal belt. Haarlemmerdijk and the Jordaan are within reach for independent shops and dining, while Westerpark offers room to run, relax and attend cultural events.

A Loft for Longer Amsterdam Stays

The first-floor apartment accommodates two guests and includes lift access, heating, Wi-Fi, television, laundry facilities, towels, bed linen and self check-in. Its unusually generous floor area, full kitchen and distinct work and sleeping zones make it especially well suited to relocation or a creative professional assignment.
