Article source: Spanjers Architect On a large plot, situated next to a forest, Spanjers Architect designed a modern villa at the end of a long driveway. The use of natural materials (woodand natural stone) combined with white plaster was the initial concept of the architectural design. This house should have a modern appearance and at the same time fit in its for rest surrounding.  Image Courtesy © Spanjers Architect’

The chosen combination and architecture of these two volume smakesth at they in tensify each other. The can til evers which originate by the positioning of the upper volume create an interestingsensation.

This volume accomodatesthe ‘public’ spaces of the house, like thekitchen, living room, closed veranda, workingspaceand lounge space. This last provides a subtileconnectionwiththeupper part of the house.

By doing this some interesting can til ever soriginate, which automatically define some exterior spaces. By using multiple window-sizes, which appear to be place dirregularly, this rigid volume gets a playful accent.

The facadesand room dividingwalls are made as a timber frame, to reduce the weight to a minimum. This also speeded up the building proces, since big parts could be prefabricated.
