This  family which wanted to build this house was motivated by the change of their living situation and wanted to express this also in their new house. The two children of this family wanted to have their own living surrounding but also wanted to be in close contact with the parents. On the other hand the parents wanted to have more private zones in the new house but also be in close contact with their children.

Every floor of the house had to have an overview of the surrounding. In a certain way  the new house is a translation of the family situation which is undergoing a transformation like many other families in the Netherlands.
