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.
