The villa is located in the dune forest in Bloemendaal The Netherlands. The most important feature of the villa is the orientation to the surrounding nature. Volumes are rotated towards each other creating beautiful views into the forrest. The windows on the ground floor create the relation with the rabbit, on the first floor the views are straight into the trees where you can admire the squirrel, the third level raises from the tree level and you can enjoy the open sky with the birds. The relation with the outdoor space is not only visual but also physical. Bij shifting the building volumes from each other each room has a outdoor terrace.
The Chimney House in Bosschenhoofd has a simple main volume with a rectangular floor plan and a saddleback roof. The plan is based on the fact that the chimney is a disappearing feature in architecture of this century. This tempted us to create a house with several chimneys. The chimney has been used in different sizes and shapes and with different functions.
