House KvD is located in the woods of Teteringen, close to Breda. Important, from the residents point of view, was to experience the green environment in a most intense way. This ambition has formed the main concept of the building: A house that feeds in between the trees, giving every arbitrary movement a surprising perspective on the forest. The square-shaped volume keeps you, while moving through the building, in constant contact with the environment.
House KvD座落于泰特灵恩树林,接近布雷达。重要的是在当地居民的观点看来,应该最强烈的方式绿化环境。这种强烈的想法,促成了建筑物设计的主要概念:一个在树林间成长的房子,一个从任意的运动的角度都能呈现出很精彩的画面的房子。方方正正的室内空间由您安排布置,同时在建筑中通过移动穿行,时刻与周围环境的密切接触。
The square, that’s partly lifted by piles, embraces an open courtyard on which the entrance is situated. The living rooms are located on ground zero, the bedrooms are lifted and provided with horizontal orientated windows. The framework, situated on the outside of the building, are filtering direct incoming sunlight and give a beautiful ‘cut out’ view of the forest. They also intensify the sculptural characteristic of the volume. The façade is made of vertically placed black stained wooden parts. The subtle details in combination with shape and material make the house modern, but also reserved in it’s afforested environment.
