In the Westland, between the largest greenhouses in the Netherlands, there is a modern house. The design of the house is based on the Californian mid-century style, where the combination of natural materials and plenty of daylight provide a comfortable and pleasant environment.
The house is oriented towards the garden. The street side of the house is fairly closed, while on the garden side the house opens up naturally to the terrace. The awning along the rear facade provides a pleasant transition from inside to outside.
garden side
The house consists of a main volume of two floors with an attachment at right angles to it. In addition to the living and dining room, kitchen and garage, the ground floor also has space for the 'hang out', the gym, the spa with sauna and steam bath and for the guesthouse. There is direct access to the garden and swimming pool from all areas. The different living areas flow into each other. They are informally separated from each other by a height difference in the floor or a large expressive element, such as the chimney, which has a fireplace both inside and outside. The terraces are sheltered under a continuous canopy, allowing optimal use of the outdoor space all year round. Slats have been placed at the spa for extra privacy.
interior
The interior is characterized by a balanced combination of high-quality materials.
The natural stone chimney is combined with a terrazzo floor, which extends from the inside to the terrace outside, the wooden (acoustic) ceiling, the fixed wooden furniture and the gold-colored kitchen unit with a very distinctive natural stone top.
The large sliding doors to the garden provide the rooms with sufficient daylight. To allow extra daylight, the awning is equipped with skylights and the facade above the awning is equipped with skylights.
