Nature

Aldgate Tower, a high-profile office building in the capital, required an aesthetic wood floor solution to enhance its ground floor lobby. Part of a wider renovation, the brief was to revitalise the entrance space to create an inclusive yet inviting environment for office workers and guests that matched its vibrant surroundings. 

This glorious hotchpotch of buildings, originally 25 separate 400-year old canal houses, was restored to its position as one of Amsterdam’s leading luxury hotels in a four-year project under the guidance of Jacu Strauss. Strauss spent a night in every one of the 225 rooms, contemplating how best to make it work, and each unique. Eclectic yet elegant: employing humour, the very best antique and contemporary pieces as well as numerous different wood products from Havwoods, the Pulitzer provides a visual feast at every turn.
