assignment
The assignment concerns the construction of a spacious villa, along one of the lakes in Vinkeveen, the Netherlands. The program of the dwelling consists of a living room, bedrooms, a guest house, an indoor pool, a sauna and a steam bath.
design
In the design, there is chosen to lift the entrance part of the building to a height of three meters above ground level. By this, the quality of the view over the water emphasized the opportunity occurs to create a continuous driveway underneath the villa.
Characteristics for the concept is the great openness of the building to water side and a diffuse shield towards the road side. The transversely mounted guesthouse shares the southern exterior in two parts; the driveway and a shielded private garden. Four separate elements are shifted underneath the first floor; the glass storage, copper entrance curl, dark coloured guesthouse and the silver back of the cocktail plateau of the pool. On the 1st floor, a frame of natural stone clutches around the overhanging whirlpool, overlooking the lakes of Vinkeveen.
