Article source: ANA architecten Commissioned by Huis&, ANA designed a series of four dwellings with workspaces.

The voids connect levels with one another, and create a great internal quality of space and light. Outdoor spaces The dwellings have South facing front gardens adjacent to the street. These garden are used for parking as well. Therefore, all dwellings are supplied with one or more terraces on any of the higher floors. These terraces are perceived as outdoor rooms.

Within a repeating measuring system, four different dwelling types are created that vary in the way living and working are related. At the same time there is a clear emphasis on coherence in form and material. This way the Woodlofts show that fulfilling individual needs can be more than the sum of its parts.

The dwellings are not connected to the city’s heating system but heat is supplied by an individual heat pump for each dwelling. Furthermore, heat recovery systems and floor heating are applied and window shutters are integrated in the design. Lastly, solar panels and a solar collector are placed on top of the roof.
