Living in a heritage home near Haarlem
For this residence in Bloemendaal, Choc Studio designed and realized an interior where history meets contemporary luxury. This interior design project shows how a listed heritage building can be transformed into a comfortable home with modern elegance.
The question: how to preserve history while adding luxury?
On the edge of the Bloemendaal dunes, just outside Haarlem, a former hospital and listed national monument was redeveloped into luxury residences. The new owners wanted an interior that respected the historic character of the building while meeting the needs of modern living. How do you combine soaring ceilings, historic details and original structures with contemporary comfort and luxury?
The solution: bespoke interior design and realization
Choc Studio was commissioned to transform this monumental property into a refined home with modern allure. In close collaboration with the client, we guided an intensive design and building process, ensuring that every detail was carefully considered — from spatial layout to the choice of materials and finishes.
The result: heritage living with modern elegance
The design creates a harmonious dialogue between past and present. A sweeping spiral staircase serves as a striking centerpiece, while the living areas are furnished with carefully selected pieces from brands such as Meridiani and Prades, complemented by items from the Pure Choc collection. At the heart of the home lies a luxury kitchen, custom-designed by Choc Studio to blend seamlessly with the rest of the interior. Refined wall coverings from Wall&Deco and Arte, combined with lighting from Nemo and Tooy, complete the atmosphere. The result is a heritage home that breathes history yet feels fully prepared for modern life.
