VILLA STERKENBURG

This dwelling is housed in the beautiful landscape of Sterkenburg. The villa is situated in such a way that it respects the historically defined site lines and patterns and allows space for the berceau hedges. The long, slender gabled roof extends over the terrace on the south side, giving the house a natural home on the site.
The villa’s architecture is light and understated. Wooden façades and timber trusses reference traditional barn construction, and as a contrast plenty of glass was applied. Linking the inside to the outside environment, the glass merges the villa into its leafy surroundings. The roof’s aluminum strip system will also integrate solar cells into its frame.
