The guesthouse is set across two mid-17th-century canal houses, so quite a bit of the design nods to the building’s past. They chose to restore some detail rather than build fresh.
Interiors are decked out with vintage and custom-made furniture pieces with the aim of reducing waste and promoting a circular economy.
The café downstairs dishes up fresh and seasonal food, reducing the carbon footprint and supporting local producers.
