The building's distinctive façades and decorative ornaments were carefully restored to their former glory. Following the renovation, the apartment offers the quality and comfort of a modern home. The walls, ceilings and floors were renewed, as were the windows, doors, bathroom and electrical installations. Particular attention was also paid to thermal and sound insulation.

The artwork plays with the reflections of the buildings opposite, creating a distinctive visual feature within the complex.

HISTORY Van Noordtstraat is situated in the historic Spaarndammerbuurt, which began to develop towards the end of the nineteenth century. The neighbourhood's workers' housing was originally built primarily for dockworkers employed in the nearby harbours. The area is renowned for its distinctive architecture. Many of its buildings and homes were designed in the Amsterdam School style, which gives the neighbourhood its unique character and charm.
