Essence of Amsterdam Located in the heart of Amsterdam, this concept aims to invoke aspects of the Dutch city vibe.
CN
Essence of Amsterdam The intent of this design is to invoke the user with the vibe of the Dutch city, taking advantage of the city’s architecture, the period art, the atmosphere that the natural elements provide, and to contrast this with the evocative side. To enhance the users stay, biophilic design runs through the space, for example in the Lobby, elements of the City are brought inside - the mini canal running around the lobby invokes a sense of calm upon their arrival, enhanced by the natural light from the iconic dutch architectural windows which fills the space. The Bedrooms would continue this serenity, but the focus would be more on materials and design of that period, using contemporary elements to provide an atmosphere of “Hygge�. The Bar represents the evocative side, with elements of the Red Light District but with a classier undertone.
