The story behind a tiny one room design hotel

For those who recognise true beauty not in extravagance, but in restraint.
For those who care more about the story behind the light switch than the thread count.
For those who believe that soul is found in the details — and luxury is the absence of distraction.
Vondice is not a hotel. It’s a one-room stay, a tiny house shaped by the hands and hearts of a small circle of creators, makers, and visionaries.

This is the team behind your stay:

Wendy van Gilst 
Keepers of the experience
The couple who are shaping Vondice not as a business, but as a personal invitation. Their mission: to create space for silence, light, and meaningful pause.

Martijn van den Dobbelsteen
Master creator & Original Founder
The original mind behind Vondice. Martijn brought the raw idea — and raw concrete — to life, transforming an industrial remnant into a soul-filled retreat.

TANK Interior Design
Design storytellers
Also known for the iconic A’DAM Toren, TANK gave Vondice its tactile stillness. Their interiors invite you to slow down and notice what matters.

Jan Dorens – Dorens Architects
Architect with intuition
Jan didn’t just design Vondice — he fell in love with it. Drawn in by the structure’s brutal simplicity, he gave the building its new soul.

Jaap Boers
Steel specialist and craftsman
A true artisan who speaks the language of metal. His custom-made steel elements are the silent framework of the space.

SKOON
Purveyors of rest
Makers of one of the most luxurious, organic mattresses in Europe. Handmade from natural materials — including thick horsehair and soft camel wool — SKOON ensures you sleep not just well, but deeply.
