Home Dijkhuis is a minimal residence located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, designed by Studio Modijefsky. As building a dyke raises the ground level, it means that houses around it have a back area (and garden) at the lower, original level. This causes a difference in height and light that poses design challenges and creative opportunities in equal measure – especially in such a traditional house where a balance must be struck between respecting heritage and introducing modern touches.
