In the north of Amsterdam, a traditional ‘’Dijkhuis’’ (dyke house) has been transformed into a family home by Studio Modijefsky. This kind of building, as you might have guessed, is built next to a dyke. As building a dyke raises the ground level, it means that houses around it have a back area (and garden) at the lower, original level.
