"A canal-side apartment designed around the art collection it was built to hold."
Velvet Residence is a private apartment on Amsterdam's Herengracht, redesigned to function as both a home and a private gallery. The client's collection of post-war European painting demanded a backdrop that receded — deep, saturated walls, minimal furniture, and lighting designed to serve the art rather than the architecture. The result is a space that feels curated rather than decorated.
