Front view on the house.
Words from the architect
The front of the house on the corner plot gives this house an introvert nature, because it is kept closed intentionally.
A strip window is only provided for above ground level. The strip window runs along the front and along the side wall, where it merges into a larger set of windows. Behind the closed front, there is a patio that lets sunlight through indirectly into the bedroom and in the entrance hall. The back wall is in strong contrast with the front. Here, the house has a pronounced extravert character thanks to the large window sets. There is optimal contact between the indoor spaces, living room and children's bedrooms with the back garden and the rural landscape. The open and closed parts in the outer walls reveal the functions of the rooms behind. The sober design and the use of sustainable, simple materials, give the whole a timeless nature.
