Bursts of blue and green appear inside this centuries-old canal house in Amsterdam that has been renovated by local architecture studio i29.
i29 worked alongside a team of specialists for more than two years to revive the three-floor home, which had been severely neglected since its construction in 1675.

Just beyond the counter is a glossy, forest-green volume that conceals a guest bedroom, complete with its own en-suite bathroom and access door to the garden.
Towards the other end of the kitchen is an oak-lined stairwell stained dark grey. After the first few steps is a small landing that has been turned into a cosy seating nook.
