An Ettore Sottsass gridded feature wall and a sculptural green ladder characterise this 1920s Dutch house, which interiors firm DAB Studio designed to reference the Amsterdam School.
Called Collectors Home, the dwelling is defined by the intricate brickwork and stained glass windows typical of the Amsterdam School ? a movement from 1910 to 1920 that paid equal attention to the architecture and interior design of a building.
DAB Studio has renovated a Dutch home from the Amsterdam School period
Local firm DAB Studio renovated the Amsterdam house's interiors to reflect its roots while adding contemporary touches.
"The building dates from around 1929 and was designed by Eduard Cuypers," studio co-founder Lotte Bruns told Dezeen.
Called Collectors Home, the dwelling also includes contemporary touches "His studio was considered the origin of the Amsterdam School because the ringleaders of this style, Michel de Klerk, Joan van der Mey and Piet Kramer, were all formed in his office," she added.
The team enlarged and rearranged the living room's neutral-hued fireplace, which has smooth, subtle corners ? "a recognisable reference to the Amsterdam School," according to Bruns. 
Dedesigned to be deliberately off-centre, the fireplace mouth was decorated with modernist black marble discs that echo the room's rounded sconce lights, positioned on a marbled mahogany feature wall.
