Read all about our Wakkerstraat project in the latest VT Wonen Magazine (edition 10). Featuring in-depth interview with our lovely client. As part of this total renovation, we were able to add an extra floor to this meticulously detailed home situated in a former school in Watergraafsmeer.
By implementing generous steel windows and natural materials this home is flooded with daylight and filled with a calming atmosphere.

The preparations are on the way for the start of the build of our 3rd new built project in Oosterwold "Casa Feijoa".
Through this 1:50 scale model we're already able to take sneak peak at the lovely patio house that we will be able to share with you in 2026.By carefully positioning the home within the oddly shaped plot, we were able to create a modest home with generous connections to its surroundings.
Together with the large garden around the house and the roof terrace that is connected with the inner patio, our client will have many ways of enjoying the outdoor spaces in and around the house.Built by: Joost Huijzer / Maankraters

Tomorrow we'll pick up the 1:50 scale model of our Casa Feijoa project. Meticulously built by Joost Huijzer / Mooncraters (www.maankraters.nl). Hand cut and built out of balsa wood, maple veneer, paper, MDF and a 3D printed spiral staircase.
In this digital world, a physical model provides a special sense of scale and dimension that is hard to capture digitally.
Video shot and edited by our amazing client who happens to be a cinematographer (www.hansschepp.com).
Sandwiched between two typical Amsterdam houses lies a narrow plot of 2,5m wide and 24m deep. These dimensions asked for a creative approach for the infill of this two storey new-built house.
The tall glass facade in the front façade floods the front of the house with natural light. The facade of perforated panels further integrates five custom-made birdhouses under the eaves, making this home more than just a "habitat of people."
Two years after completion, the stainless steel façade still catches the evening sun beautifully, while the window frames have mellowed in tone, blending with the rest of the exterior.
Take a look inside the new home of one of HOP's cofounders. Just around the corner of the HOP office, Michael and his wife Charlotte completely stripped the 4th and 5th floor of a characteristic building from around the year 1900. The 5th floor was newly built in 2017 and offers stunning views over Amsterdam's cityscape. Michael and Charlotte decided to make this floor their kitchen, dining and living area. While the interior design of the top floor has a more modern touch to it, the design of the floor below (within the old building) contains a more classic atmosphere, relating to the characteristic details of the building.
The kitchen is meant to be the real eye catcher. A curved plinth and curved upper cabinets, combined with warm oak veneer and a mirror backsplash, attract most of the attention in this 30m2 open space. To the left of the 4.5m long counter top is a high cabinet containing the fridge and open shelving. Both are finished in a warm butter yellow color, same as the open staircase that connects the two floors. A garden is not missed in this apartment, since both floors offer 10m2 large terraces overlooking the South East and North West of Amsterdam.

Next to group rooms 1 and 2 you'll find the communal kitchen of KleintjeZuid's after-school facility. Here, children can roll up their sleeves and help out with food preparations at the kid-friendly lower section of the kitchen island. In this photo series you'll also spot the monumental entrance area with its custom circular bench full of greenery, as well as the second-floor space for group room 3. This room comes with a New York-style open book cabinet and even a corner where kids can practice their ballet moves!
We are proud to present the first official photos of KleintjeZuid's brand-new after-school care facility! The BSO is located in the extension of the Maranatha Church in Amsterdam, right next to KleintjeZuid's current childcare center. HOP was responsible for both the technical building design and the interior design, resulting in a true play paradise with three group rooms and a group kitchen. In this slideshow you can see some photos of group 1 and 2.
The architectural design is rooted in natural materials, featuring a colorful and 100% natural hempcrete wall between group rooms 1 and 2, marmoleum floors made from recycled cocoa husks, and abundant use of wood in the structures and bespoke furniture. The interior design combines warm, earthy tones with permanent play elements, such as a hanging net, walkable glass, arches with play activities, and a climbing track beside the stairs. Every corner offers something to do or discover!

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.
