Studioninedots has designed Light House in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

A couple with two children, long-rooted in Amsterdam, approached architecture firm Studioninedots with a simple yet generous request: design a home defined by connection — between themselves and their children – while also interacting with the surrounding environment.

"From that single ambition, they entrusted us with an almost complete carte blanche," said Studioninedots.

The house sits on Centrumeiland, a new neighbourhood with strong sustainability ambitions and where a self-build culture drives individual expression and experiment.

"As such, we created Light House, a home made of playfully stacked boxes," added Studioninedots.
