Amsterdam Old South

Amsterdam Old South

by BÜRO KIF

Set beneath a run of glazed roof lights, this apartment layers raw brick and honed marble with velvet, brass and antique pieces. A reclaimed brick wall anchors the kitchen, while the adjoining living room pairs a deep blue velvet sofa with an antique apothecary chest. Throughout, herringbone oak flooring ties the rooms together in quiet continuity.

The kitchen sits beneath a pitched skylight, its painted ceiling beams framing a run of glass. A marble-clad island with a brass tap anchors the space, set against a wall of exposed, reclaimed brick and simple wall-mounted sconces.

In the adjoining living room, a blue velvet sofa with bamboo-turned legs faces a pair of pale upholstered chairs across a graphic black-and-white rug. Round marble-topped tables, a built-in gas fire, and a nineteenth-century apothecary chest furnish the space, while a framed six-panel Japanese screen in gold leaf hangs above a walnut sideboard nearby.

The dining room takes a darker, more layered approach: grasscloth wallpaper in deep blue-grey, a brass and glass-globe chandelier, and a walnut table paired with brass-framed suede chairs. Herringbone oak flooring runs throughout, unifying the sequence of rooms.
