Entry Description

This family which wanted to build this house was
motivated by the change of their living situation and
wanted to express this also in their new house. The two
children of this family wanted to have their own living
surrounding but also wanted to be in close contact with
the parents. On the other hand the parents wanted to
have more private zones in the new house but also be in
close contact with their children. Every floor of the house
had to have an overview of the surrounding. In a
certain way the new house is a translation of the family
situation which is undergoing a transformation like many
other families in the Netherlands.

The house has an inner organisation of a wooden
staircase and all the levels of this house are connected
with this staircase, like the leaves of a tree. From the
living area till the upper sleeping rooms the spaces are
organized by the staircase and each living space gives a
different view to the surrounding.
The family wanted a house which is flooded with light,
which is experienced each season in a different way and
they wanted to experience the surrounding from different
locations in the house. From the outside this house
gives a readable split level. A glimpse of the various
functions of the house can been seen at different corners
from outside and inside the house.
The interior of this house and the use is readable at the
outside of the house and each side of the house is
reacting in his own peculiar way, one time closed and the
other time open, sometimes friendly and the other time
hard-minded, sometimes unanswered and the other time
it lights up and shows the inside.
