The Dune Villa of HILBERINKBOSCH Architects:

"An Web site in a pine forest with a height of six m version is accessible exclusively in the Netherlands. The buyers are aware of that and asked us a "living" home, which fully requires more than the attributes of the plot layout. They cite 3 symbols as a reference, each and every with their personal special qualities. De picturesque naturalness F.L. Wright, the openness of the Mies van der Rohe and the tactile materiality of Zumthor. With a sense of essential humility we took the assignment

The property consists of three places :. Dense vegetation towards the road, a enormous open space at the front and an open pine forest on the back of the house which is characteristic of the area. An offshoot of the "Utrechtse Heuvelrug" Dune is positioned on the north side of the home which leads distinction in the 6 meters height. We strictly follows the division into three elements. The diverse volumes of the villa are positioned on the northern and eastern edge of the open space, in and on the dune.

Apart from clear references to the symbols taken as an inspiration for the plan is to connect to the web site, the deepest basis for the visual appeal of the Villa. The colour of the concrete is applied straight derived from the sand dunes. All the concrete seamlessly poured into a given piece. The rugged walls are perpend-significantly much less and there is no index for the masonry employed in thin bricks, which measure up to a certain meter. The shades of color in the mix of stones, beige, orange and green on a dark sliver, are derived from the bark of pine trees on the hand.

accents in the facades of vertical wooden slats with different widths and colors. They reflect the lines of the forest. The window frames, if noticeable, have a coating that will take spot more than the color of the surroundings. Lastly, all the normal image are disturbing treatments such as expansion joints and metal siding been left out and the constructing offers an excellent naturalness. All these components with each other deeply connects the villa with its location.

This term is continued inside. The soils in the exact very same concrete colour, have diverse surfaces, honed by round, incredibly polished, based on the character of the space. The special masonry is in addition to the a lot of functions of art, a painting on his private. Gets The surrounding forest, a element of daily life in the capital is due to the truth all the glass. In certain areas inside and outdoors actually interconnected.
