Warm, Minimalist Amsterdam Apartment for a Family of Three
Artist, interior designer, and ardor—studio founder Michiel Hilbrink designed a 60sqm/645sqft home for his family of three in Amsterdam’s east end. The peaceable, minimalist, and timeless space is a study in achieving comfort without clutter.

The top-floor apartment with tall, pitched ceilings offers a comfortable lifestyle for its small size. A generous bathroom followed by a nursery greets you upon entry, giving shape to a corridor that opens into a sizable, blended living-dining-kitchen area; a staircase at the far end winds up to a modest mezzanine bedroom for Hilbrink and his partner. A thread of minimalism runs throughout the home’s design, but is offset by pops of colour and rustic, natural touches – a style that perfectly embodies the couple’s idea of what a home should be. “My partner and I like the house to be calm and quiet”, noted Hilbrink, “a place to recharge as well as celebrate family and small social activities”.
