KNSM Eiland – in spite of all modern architecture and recent developments – still has a prevailing air of old harbour that charms me time after time. That’s mostly because the specific of the area was carefully preserved when the island was repurposed for living in the early 90’s, together with the rest of the Eastern Docklands of Amsterdam.

The absolute revelation of the short trip we took on the KNSM this past Sunday were the artist lofts with a generous water view that you can see in the last photo of this post. What would it feel like to live in one of them? I can only dream. 🙂
