Article source: Mannen in de ruimte For a new part of Assen, a city in the north of the Netherlands, architecture firm Mannen in de ruimte has developed a house with a distinct roof. The clients asked for a house adapted for living at an advanced age that would fit their triangular shaped plot of land. They had realized that a traditional rectangular house would not work at this location. Nevertheless they did want a house the way a child draws a house: with brick walls and pitched roof.

Then a pitched roof was placed asymmetrically on the volume, this created a porch that prevents unwanted warming of the interior as a result of the summer sun. The garage was angled towards the road to create a more private front garden. Finally, to reduce volume and construction costs, the roof above the garage was pushed down.

In the design traditional elements as the pitched roof, a brick facade and a porch are used to create a contemporary and surprising home. The project is an example of how to create challenging architecture with a modest budget, common building materials and traditional shapes. Mannen in de ruimte is a Dutch architecture firm that works on ambitious architectural projects with a strong sustainable component.
