Ons Dorp is a school building conversion in Amsterdam by Standard Studio. This particular one was designed for a family of four. The teacher’s lounge became the bedrooms and the classroom, the living space.
Due to its high ceilings they were able to create a living area that could combine all five elements; kitchen, living room, dining room, play area for the children and work space into one.
Storage is of essence when designing for a family with two young children, therefore as a result, furniture pieces were created under the stair cases that not only allowed for the children to put their toys, but also as a play and sitting area.
Concrete floors and steel staircases kept the characteristics of the school but when combined with plywood, it resulted in a bright and warm interior.
