"The architects lowered the floor in part of the house by 45 centimeters as a workaround to the limits, as the below ground area doesn't factor into the total square footage."
"They split the property and built two connected buildings: one narrow single-story house that's sympathetic to the workers' houses in the area, and a larger structure designed to resemble a traditional barn."
"The Western red cedar siding of the house is finished with a natural wash to 'anticipate the patina and grayness,' ensuring the house will not need painting in the future."
Architects Mechthild Stuhlmacher and Rien Korteknie designed a holiday house on Goeree-Overflakkee, addressing local building laws and family preferences. They lowered part of the house's floor to comply with volume restrictions and created two connected buildings: a single-story house and a barn-like structure. The 220-square-meter property features cross-laminated timber panels and Western red cedar siding. Interiors include ash paneling and custom furniture. The design respects the traditional agricultural landscape while providing a modern holiday retreat.
