Combining original qualities with modern education

In the midst of an oasis of tranquil backyards of a typical Amsterdam building block, this beautiful 1920s educational building with originally overplus of storey height, spacious stairwells and generous corridors and classrooms has been transformed.

Previous renovations have resulted in a messy outcome of rooms and booths and difficult disclosure . We’ve brought back the original qualities and combine them with the wishes of modern Montessori education. This is mainly done by opening up the central part of the building again, which connects both wings of the building with a new design element centrally.
