Darding

"The living volume was rendered in white stucco, because white stucco has the power to absorb the unrest of the environment and it gives the building a light and abstract presence." says the architecture firm Egide Meertens, Architect BVBA, designers of Darding.

Words from the Designer

The house is located along the expressway Maastricht (NL) - Tongeren (BE). The street is bordered by a multiplicity of various housing volumes, which produces a restless image.

By positioning the house in line with one of the neighbours' outbuildings, the construction withdraws from the unordered image of the street and, at the same time, it creates a buffer zone towards the street. This zone is used via a driveway, to provide access to the garage that is located underneath the building.
