The interiors and exterior spaces of the house are connected by visual and functional elements into a singular unit.

The Building

The project required an extension to an existing and stylish Amsterdam school housing block located in a typical Dutch landscape -- at the edge of a canal atop a dike.

Due to their location, the houses are distanced from their surroundings with the village on one side and the natural landscape on the other.

The character of the existing house, with its small windows, further reinforced this distancing.

The extension is in contrast to the character of the existing house and is located primarily to its rear and partly on one side.

A newer living space is introduced and connected to the existing area by two glass bridges, which frame its view.
