Unique apartment on the top floor in Amsterdam East

On the top floor of the small-scale apartment complex BorneoDrieHoek lies this exceptional 115 m² apartment. The complex was designed by the renowned architectural firm Zeinstra Van der Pol and in 2005 received the Zuiderkerk Prize for innovation. The sleek façades with floor-to-ceiling glass panels and steel accents give the building a strong and modern appearance.

The interior was designed by architect Heike Löhmann of Löhmanns Architecture. She transformed the property into an open loft by adding three volumes that include storage, built-in cupboards, bathroom, and toilet. In between these volumes, literal space was created, enabling a flexible and open floor plan. Thanks to concealed sliding walls, the layout can easily be adapted—from separate rooms to a completely open living space.

A twenty-meter-wide façade with floor-to-ceiling windows opens the apartment to light and greenery. The property is finished with great attention to detail and feels like a ‘livable piece of furniture,’ where openness and intimacy blend harmoniously.

Layout:
The communal entrance provides access to the hall, the lift, and the stairwell. Once inside the apartment, the unique layout unfolds: spanning the full width of approximately twenty meters and six meters deep. From the entrance, a sightline runs straight through the home to the open living room at the far end.

This living room is bathed in light and feels spacious thanks to the large windows at the front, offering views through the trees toward the Zeeburgerdijk. At the rear, double doors open onto the southwest-facing balcony, a sunny spot that lends itself perfectly to relaxed outdoor seating.

Adjacent to the living room is the semi-open kitchen, fully integrated into the interior design. With a robust concrete countertop and sleek lines, it forms an elegant whole, equipped with all modern conveniences.
At the heart of the home is the library/study. Concealed sliding panels allow this space to be completely closed off or seamlessly integrated into the living area. Next to this room is the bedroom, also closable with the sliding panels and fitted with a spacious built-in wardrobe.

The interior design is highly considered: storage space is integrated throughout, sometimes as freestanding volumes, sometimes subtly within the walls. A seamless poured floor runs throughout the apartment, reinforcing its loft-like character.

Next to the library/study are the service volumes. One contains the bathroom with double washbasin and bathtub, as well as a separate toilet. The other houses the technical installations and storage, along with connections for a washing machine and dryer.

Finally, the apartment includes a separate storage unit on the ground floor, equipped with electricity.

Location:
The apartment is located in Amsterdam East, in the vibrant Indische Buurt. Just around the corner are the Javastraat and Javaplein, offering a wide variety of cafés, restaurants, and shops for daily groceries. The lively Dappermarkt is also nearby.

The immediate surroundings provide countless amenities: from Oosterpark and Flevopark to Artis Zoo, the iconic windmill of Brouwerij ’t IJ, and the Oostpoort shopping center. Everything is within easy walking or cycling distance. The city center of Amsterdam is only a ten-minute bike ride away, while the A10 ring road is quickly and easily accessible. For those preferring public transport: tram line 14 and bus lines 22, 37, and 59 are within walking distance, as is Muiderpoort railway station.

The neighborhood is also known for its family-friendly character, with several schools, playgrounds, and parks in the vicinity, making this a pleasant and safe living environment.

This apartment is a rare opportunity for lovers of design and architecture. A home with international allure, combining light, space, and flexibility with a prime location in one of Amsterdam’s most dynamic districts.
