Hoogeveen house / Bureau B+O

Architects: Bureau B+O Architecten
Location: Hoogeveen, Netherlands
Project Year: 2008
Photographer: Rob de Jong

A modern house on a circular plot in the new district of Hoogeveen represents the client’s request for a contemporary form for living in the city.

The design team enforced restraint with respect to the brief and surroundings to produce a tasteful, contemporary icon for the city. This resulted in a design of retro-classical style with a mixture of urban and environmental qualities which help the occupants engage in sustainable and practical living. The house is placed around an enclosed garden with a long driveway, creating a sufficient distance from the neighbours for even more privacy.
