"The project began with a simple brief from a couple with two children who wanted a home that would genuinely bring them together. Rather than anchoring daily life to the ground floor the way most houses do, Studioninedots dedicated each of the family's key activities - eating, gathering, cooking, relaxing - to its own distinct volume, then arranged those volumes vertically into a single, tightly considered composition."
"Movement through the home unfolds through a sequence of open passages and compressed zones, where shifts in scale produce entirely different spatial moods. Smaller, enclosed areas carve out space for focused, quieter activities, while larger voids open up visual connections across levels, dissolving any conventional sense of what is above and what is below."
"The facade does a lot of the design's heavy lifting. A wall of square glass blocks wraps the front of the building, filtering natural light into the interior while abstracting the life inside, offering privacy without sacrificing the warmth of daylight."
Light House, designed by Studioninedots, is a 257-square-meter residence in Amsterdam that reimagines home design by stacking distinct volumes for family activities. Each volume is dedicated to key moments like eating and relaxing, creating a vertical neighborhood. The design features open passages and varied spatial moods, with smaller areas for quiet activities and larger voids for visual connections. The top gathering room offers panoramic views, while the facade of square glass blocks provides privacy and natural light, enhancing the overall living experience.
