Even from 6,000 kilometres away, Diipa Büller-Khosla’s (@diipakhosla) energy is palpable through the screen. It’s morning where she is, and she and her husband and business partner, Dutch former diplomat, Oleg Büller-Khosla (@olegbuller) (the couple legally adopted each other’s last names when they married in 2018) are perched in the kitchen of their Amsterdam home, in the company of their pet pooches, Kubii and Bimbo.
“We’d often bike or boat past canal homes and wonder what kind of people lived there. The prospect of owning such a home seemed outlandish, so even though we found them very beautiful, we wrote off the idea for a long time,” recounts the entrepreneur, content creator, and founder of Ayurvedic beauty label indē wild (@indewild) and social upliftment non-profit Post For Change. That changed in 2019, when the couple began a vision board in the laundry closet of Oleg’s old apartment in Amsterdam’s Oud-West. Front and centre, was a picture of a canal house.
“We viewed around 40-50 houses over almost nine months before we found this one,” Oleg says of the home, originally constructed as a boys’ orphanage in 1614. “It hadn’t been renovated in thirty years and was in desperate need of work, but it had this calming energy and a gorgeous fireplace. We looked at each other and just knew.” Because the house was in poor shape and there was little interest from other parties, the couple decided to negotiate a better price—a decision that ultimately boomeranged when they were outbid by another buyer. Unwilling to give up, Oleg penned a heartfelt letter to the owner, urging him to reconsider. It worked, and two weeks later, the paperwork was signed and sealed, and the deed soon-to-be-delivered.
With help from Franco-Mexican architect extraordinaire Gabriela Soleille (@gabriela.puig.soleille) and creative director Mirko Musmeci (@mirko.musmeci), they were able to introduce hints of India, including a Ganesha idol for the niche above the stairs, a door with ornate carvings, and handwoven carpets everywhere.

AD Visits Diipa Büller-Khosla’s (@diipakhosla) canal house in Amsterdam. The home is one for all seasons: in the warmer months, the windows are permanently flung open, and in the winters, the frozen-over canal offers a welcome opportunity for ice-skating—an activity they last recall doing while still pregnant with Dua. In these moments, life is simple, unglamorous, lived moment by moment. For the couple (@diipakhosla & @olegbuller), whose lives take them everywhere, this home offers physical and mental sanctuary.
