A few years ago, we had the pleasure of designing this vibrant kitchen for Jet (@tipvanjet), Ward, and their son Frenkie. The result is a playful blend of bold colors, custom-built seating for Frenkie, a seamlessly integrated bin, and open shelving perfect for cookbooks. It's still going strong today serving both as a dynamic set for cooking videos and, of course, a much-loved family kitchen.
Just outside Amsterdam lies Ransdorp, a small village surrounded by open grasslands. The house overlooks endless meadows where cows graze, hares dart through the fields, and birds nest undisturbed. On the ground floor, the kitchen and dining area offer sweeping views of this tranquil landscape, with the window seat providing the best vantage point. When the windows are open, you can enjoy the gentle passage of the sun and the fresh country air.

Upstairs, the bedroom features windows at two different heights, perfectly framing the breathtaking view — both at eye level as you enter the room, and from the comfort of the bed.
Follow the cat! It's wandering around this new project we did on the Blasiusstraat, right around the corner of our office. Can you spot it in the first photo? The new extension is partially sunken into the ground, allowing for the addition of two full floors on one side. This clever use of split levels creates enough space to accommodate an extra bedroom. As a result, the house now features seven distinct floor levels, giving it a dynamic and playful spatial experience that is also reflected in the facade design.
The exterior is clad in eco-friendly brick strips (ECO brick strips) from Vandersanden, paired with windows crafted from durable, sustainable Accoya wood. Together, these materials contribute to a highly sustainable design.

New finished project: Accoya House! Approximately 2.2 m3 of the highly sustainable Accoya wood was used for this 120 m2 patio house located in the 19th century harbor docks which are now called Borneo and Sporenburg. We were asked by the owners of one of the houses located on the Ertskade to completely redesign the patio and to make an extension on the top floor. We made it our mission to create a highly sustainable, durable and beautiful home for them in which the interior blends seamlessly with the exterior. This is mainly achieved by applying Accoya all throughout the building: the window frames, the facade cladding, the fencing of the stairs and even the hand railings and the front door knob. The floorboards match the Accoya because they are also made of a light coloured pine wood and therefore share the same appearance. For more information and photos please check link in bio
Exciting news: the permit is granted for our Casa Feijoa project! A lovely biobased home with hidden patio and roof terrace.On one of the trickiest plots we managed to push the envelope as far as we could.
Resulting in a compact home that feels bigger than its actual size due to the centrally placed outdoor space and interconnecting sight lines.
We can't wait to start building at the end of 2025!Visuals by @conica.studio
Together with @yomabouw we are building our first 100% natural hempcrete ('kalkhennep' in Dutch) wall! In the new BSO ('buitenschoolse opvang' a.k.a. after school child care) for @kleintjezuid this wall will form the barrier in between two of the larger groups. Yesterday Yomabouw was accompanied by a team of young builders from KleintjeZuid's current daycare located in the Maranathakerk in Amsterdam Zuid.
The hempcrete wall will have 5 different colors (4 pigments and the natural brown color) which are applied layer on top of layer until they reach the +/- 5m high ceiling. More updates will follow soon!
HOP has designed a vast amount of kitchens up to the very last detail. All of the designs contain natural materials such as wood (veneer) and stone, sometimes combined with raw materials such as stainless steel and terrazzo. Here you can see a selection of some of our finished projects.
At HOP we design unique house extensions (the so-called 'uitbouw'), often including full interior renovations. Here you can see a selection of some of the projects we did in Amsterdam, Amstelveen and Utrecht
Project update! The wooden structure of our project along the Ruysdaelstraat is finished and the roof lights have been installed. We're thrilled to see how this lovely office project is coming together! The new built areas as well as the renovated areas will be connected by different wooden (interior) elements and will form a bright, airy and natural office space and where the office garden will offer tenants a lovely green space within the heart of Amsterdam Zuid.Developer: Van Keulen Beheer BV Contractor: Bouwdam BV Structural Engineer: Ingenieursgroep BV Wood structure: KonStruct Technical Engineer: Genie BV
