2. FLOATING HOME
i29
Located in the north of Amsterdam is the Floating Home, a houseboat part of the Schoonschip village (Kitchen, 6.94). Shortlisted for Kitchen of the Year, i29 designed the home to maximize the space inside the home with a relatively small footprint. A pitched roof with a diagonal roof coping helps to give more interior space and a unique exterior feature. The atrium connects all three floors of the house including the kitchen which, like the rest of the home, benefits from ample natural daylight because of extensive glazing.
