About us

Grand&Johnson is a design studio born from a love of interior and product design.

Led by owner Bertel Grote, Grand&Johnson has grown into an intimate team of interior designers. A design studio where interiors are designed with pure attention and an eye for detail. Our specialisation lies in large-scale renovation and new construction of both residential houses and offices. All our work is carried out to the highest standard and is fully customised.

You will find us in the port of Amsterdam IJburg.

The perfect design by Grand&Johnson arises from the interplay of everything and everyone involved, in which all the details come together and form a unity. A design with a story, a small world in itself. We are constantly looking for balance in contours, shapes, light, colours and materials.

“Every room is a marvel to behold, the whole forming a unity.”

Our working method

At Grand&Johnson, everything is about your experience. Whether for luxury living or work spaces, our goal is always the same: to create an interior that is not only breathtaking, but also perfectly suited to your personal needs and lifestyle. We listen to your dreams, understand your concerns and think with you to seamlessly realise every detail – from sketch to completion.

No two projects are the same, which is why we offer a personalised approach, fully tailored to your specific needs. Whether it’s a complete new-build project in which we take care of you from A to Z, or a kick-off session, we are open to various forms of cooperation. Our strength lies in designing and executing total projects in which we translate your wishes into a unique and comfortable interior that bears Grand&Johnson’s signature.

Besides our core expertise in interior design, we also provide exterior designs, permit applications and structural engineering support with our in-house architect. With our carefully curated network of reliable suppliers and craftsmen, who share the same high standards, we offer peace of mind and oversight throughout the process in addition to quality. An often underestimated but crucial aspect that contributes to the successful completion of the project, something we consider just as important as the end result.

Total project

Are you wondering how we bring your dream interior to life? Read more about our working method below. That way, you know exactly what to expect from us at each stage of the project.

Introduction

We value personal attention. That is why we always start with an informal introduction at your home. This gives us the chance to get to know each other better and discuss your wishes. After that, we plan an extensive intake session in our studio. During this session, you will meet our team and we will thoroughly discuss your requirements, wishes and dreams for your new home or business premises. Based on this information, we will draw up an initial budget.

Concept Design

After budget approval, we start the concept design, the basis of every project. Our entire team works together on this design. Pooling our creativity, we make it come to its maximum potential. We explore the possibilities of the property in combination with the programme of requirements and focus on finding the perfect layout and routing. Together with a first draft of the use of colour and materials, we determine the atmosphere that suits your needs.

Tentative design

After the concept phase, we continue with the interior design. We visualise the design in various 3D visuals, giving you a concrete idea of the final result. After our presentation, we incorporate your feedback and adjust the design until it is completely to your liking.

Final Design

In this phase, we further develop the plans into a concrete plan to be implemented. We divide the Final Design into two phases. During the first phase, we pay attention to the furniture design, all construction details and use of materials and colours. This is summarised in a detailed document for the construction team. We also prepare the technical lighting plan for the installer.

In the second phase, we design the plan for the loose furniture, aesthetic lighting and window coverings.

Implementation

Optionally, we offer aesthetic construction supervision during construction. This includes checking technical drawings from suppliers, as well as completion of various construction phases. If required, we are present during construction meetings to assist in the execution of the plans. This way, we can take the stress off you as a client and supervise the execution of the design.

Completion

We offer the option of completing the interior with carefully selected art, styling and planting. In this, our team works with you to create an end result that perfectly matches your style. An interior that exceeds your expectations without a doubt.

Kick-off session

Don’t need a total design, but are looking for advice? Then a kick-off session is perfect for you. In a personal meeting in our studio, we take the time to discuss your specific needs, dreams, wishes and requirements. The aim is to explore the opportunities and possibilities of your home or business premises and together give direction to the design. We will work this out into a concept in sketch form on the spot. This gives you immediate insight into the possibilities of the space, while leaving you the flexibility to fill in the rest as you wish.
