Renovation of an apartment in Amsterdam
We recently had the chance to refresh a modern apartment with some handy improvements.
Recently we had the opportunity to freshen up a modern apartment with some handy improvements. We started with a set of newly installed oak planks, which added a warm and natural charm. Then we moved on to the walls, repairing any damage and applying a fresh coat of paint for a clean finish. But it wasn’t just the walls, we had a distressed wooden door and siding in the bathroom that was just waiting to be taken care of! A lick of paint later, and they looked as good as new. Finally, we repaired cracks in the window frames. Simple changes, huge difference!

Bathroom and Toilet
The bathroom and toilet underwent a complete renovation. The shower was replaced with a bath in the niche, and the wall between the toilet and bathroom was restored for accessibility. The toilet saw the removal of the Geberit system, and a floor-mounted toilet was installed. Hot water was added to the toilet faucet by connecting it to the bathroom faucet.
Kitchen
The kitchen was completely renovated, with all furniture and appliances removed but not replaced. The sink drain was moved to the window, and the cable and socket above the kitchen cabinets were concealed.
Walls and Ceilings
All walls and ceilings in the rooms and kitchen were refurbished for a consistent and smooth finish. This included removing steel panels, wallpaper in two rooms, and textured plaster in one room. Following these preparatory steps, all walls and ceilings were plastered and painted.
Floors
The existing laminate and vinyl floors were removed. The DBS14 water-based floor heating system, chosen for its low profile, was installed. Radiators were removed, and four thermostats were installed, divided into four groups. The floor heating was connected to the boiler and gradually heated to a maximum temperature of 27°C. A new laminate with an appropriate subfloor was then installed.
Electricity
A new perilex cable was installed from the distribution board to the kitchen for the oven. New cable channels were added to the walls, and 21 new regular sockets were installed.
Ventilation
A vent was created from the storage/laundry area to the hallway, and a remote control panel with a CO2 sensor was installed. Additionally, a new Zehnder Comfofan mechanical ventilation unit was fitted.
