Description

My name is Rosa Sijben and I’m looking for a studio space in Lisbon or home/studio-combo near Lisbon, to work for a period within January-June or after August 2021. In exchange, I have a beautiful home and studio space (see separate advertisement) to offer in Amsterdam.  I live in a place called Ramses Shaffy House, in which ‘elderly artists’ and ‘young talents’ live in the same apartment block. The building is very new (2016) and comfortable: very well isolated (sound and temperature-wise), spacious (60m2), floor heating, lots of windows to let heaps of light in, well ventilated and right next to a big river called the ‘IJ’. It has 1 bedroom, a big living room/kitchen, separate toilet and an extra storage room within the apartment. A secure bike-storage and elevator are present in the building. In the summertime, you can swim in the river that is just a 20m walk from your front door. If that’s not your thing: the bathroom offers enough space for my plastic bathtub to be put up! Even better than the luxuries of the house itself is the fact that all your neighbours are artists with interesting and very different walks of life, in all kinds of art disciplines. We all have our own apartment and respect each others privacy, but they are amazing people to be surrounded with. We eat together once every two weeks and there is a rich cultural program organised in our collective living room on the ground floor and the big indoor ‘squares’ between our apartments. Your input in this program and community is very welcome! Our building is situated two tram stops or a 7-minute bike ride away from Amsterdam’s central train station. Shops, cafe’s and restaurants are on walking distance. My studio (see separate advertisement) is five tram stops or a 15-minute bike ride away.
