Studioninedots: Light House

Design by
Location: Centrumeiland, Amsterdam, NL
Area: 120 m²
Year: 2025
Design team: Albert Herder, Vincent van der Klei, Metin van Zijl, Wouter Hermanns, Ania Bozek, Dennis Roest
Light House is a private family house in Centrumeiland, Amsterdam — a vertical composition of stacked volumes, glass blocks, steel grids and filtered daylight. Instead of following the conventional logic of rooms arranged floor by floor, Studioninedots turns the house into a spatial collage: each domestic ritual gets its own box, suspended within a larger field of air, voids and light.
The facade is both protective and cinematic. Square glass blocks blur the boundary between privacy and exposure, allowing the life inside to appear as a soft abstraction from the street. Inside, the house unfolds as a sequence of platforms, intimate pockets and dramatic vertical connections, with the kitchen acting as the social core and the upper room opening toward views of IJmeer.
Minimal, industrial and quietly experimental, Light House feels less like a traditional home and more like a living framework — a machine for family connection, light and movement. It is architecture reduced to essentials, but arranged with a playful, almost avant-garde precision.
