Text description provided by architect.
A dark house, situated on a small lot enclosed from almost all sides created a challenging project for STAM architecten.
The old building was demolished and made way for a house filled with natural light.
By providing indoor terraces and large glass surfaces, natural light reaches every floor and room.
As the client wanted a home office and an indoor garage on the ground floor, STAM architecten situated the living areas on the first floor.
Which increases the sense of space and created a beautiful view of the surrounding area.
By doing so, eventually, the disadvantages of the lot evolved into the best assets of the project.
The second floor has three bedrooms and a sauna that divides the showers into two bathrooms, one for the children and one for the parents.
The house is compact but spacious and houses 6 people.
The white steel stairs are the center of the house connecting the floors with vertical asymmetrical bars.
The wall of cabinets in French walnut create a warm atmosphere while referencing the raw concrete walls.
There is a seating area that hovers over the entrance area as well.
