Maastricht on an Architectural Digest photo shoot

The focal point of Maastricht city center is St Servaas Basilica and St Jan's Church.  Architects designed the brick color of all Polverpark buildings after the steeple of St. Jan's.

The Polverpark project includes three buildings named after historic battlements of the old city wall, bastions Brandenburg, Walldeck, and Hertell.  Parking for all Polverpark residents is two floors underground these buildings in reserved spots.

Jane and Ruud's townhouse facing the Polverpark.

The first floor* includes the master bedroom, dressing room, guest room and full bath.

*skip note: in the Netherlands 'they' use ground floor, first floor, and second floor.  In the USA we would say, "First, second, and third floor."  Ergo the bedrooms are upstairs on the second floor.

The second (top) floor is one open studio room full of natural light.

The garden is in the inner courtyard surrounded by neighboring townhouses, villas, apartments and two penthouses with views of the church spires.  It's a lovely quiet place to relax in secluded private luxury.  The rear garden includes a locked brick storage building.
