From gym to luxury home

The Dutch novelty

Is it possible to switch from a gym to a luxury home? In Holland it seems so! And that’s what we want to talk about today at Realigro. In a brand new mini column. Our focus today is on Amsterdam, the famous city of the Netherlands. Wonderful. With all its particularities. Well, are you ready to discover how it can be considered even more extravagant? Follow us now then, just read the next few lines. So, we can loudly say, despite the pandemic emergency, that today we are going to take a trip to this land. To discover how you can go from a gym to a luxury home! Let’s get started!

The place

Before we begin, let’s try to understand where this gym is located. In fact, we can say former gymnasium. The former sports hall is located right in the centre of Amsterdam. A strategic location, then. For a long time, it has attracted generations of sports enthusiasts. From the largest to the smallest. That is why the studio that worked on this project made an exemplary decision. That is, not to eliminate the history that has lived this place to the full. How? By naming the future luxury house “The Gymasium”. A term belonging to Latin culture, which makes the word correspond to the meaning of ”gymnasium”.

From gym to luxury home: the structure

Let us now come to the point. Like any self-respecting analysis, it is appropriate to analyse which are the innovative and which are the original elements of the structure. Well, the only original element that has been preserved as such is an old steel frame. Placed inside a ceiling. The same was then removed later to create a loft. A more lofty atmosphere that enriches the whole, giving the structure a decidedly more luxurious air.

The role of lights

The role of lights is very important, to go from a simple gym to a luxury home. The warm lights in fact, installed in all rooms thanks to 10 skylights, guarantee a continuum with the outdoor setting. Even on the dullest days, which we know there is no shortage of them in Holland! In addition, the entire structure is perfectly in line with the eco-friendly principle that is depopulating in this period. Thanks to the installation of 44 solar panels, electricity has become a means and a goal to make the house much more luxurious. In addition, the heated floor guarantees a continuous heat even on the coldest days, which is not easily dispersed!
