In the north of Amsterdam, a traditional ‘’Dijkhuis’’ (dyke house) has been transformed into a family home by Studio Modijefsky.

Every story begins from nothingness, every design unfolds in response to the context and its nuances. Initiated and later abandoned by a builder team, the project came into our hands with the footings laid. Working on a canvas with the outlines and edges already defined requires transmuting every limitation encountered to possible opportunities.
