Villa Panorama / Sponge Architects
Dutch practice, Sponge Architects sent us their latest residencial project: Villa Panorama, where you can “enjoy the country life in a home where your dream landscape reveals itself before your own eyes”, as they say.
See some more images and drawings after the break.
Inspired by the broad horizontal lines of the Dutch landscape Björn van Rheenen of Sponge Architects designed Villa Panorama. These horizontal lines are translated into an open design which blends into its environment perfectly.
The large glass façade and the long small pond that optically comes straight from the garden into the spacious living area makes sure that there is an optimal contact with the garden. The green meadows will be continued onto the flat roof construction. By doing so the architect ensures a perfect and smooth merge between his interior and design.
The garden design is also inspired by the landscape. There is an optimal sensation of the seasonal changes. The cottage villa is built from local building materials such as reed for the thatched roof, wood and local bricks which makes this villa a part of its surroundings.
Villa Panorama is suitable for various types of housing: a family home, seniors housing or even a home-office is possible.
Sustainability was a very important issue when designing Villa Panorama. By using environmentally-conscious designing techniques Villa Panorama is contributing to the increasing demand for sustainable architecture.
Villa Panorama is a project of Sponge Architects Amsterdam in cooperation with Scope Bouwmanagement BV., Almere.

Dios Mio… what sort of pisstaking is this? i was under the impression this was a blog for architectural projects and not student ‘studies’, please lets have a bit more effort
wow….its so…..rustic? where to begin with all that is going on and not going on. I like the green roof thing but beyond that not so much.
HELP !!!!
SOS !!!!
au secours…………
2nd year student’s project is a lot better.

Could’ve been better.
Having so much space and design freedom the architect proposes:
1. kitchen with no direct natural light
2. food products transport through the living room
3. rooms with no windows
4. hotel like bedroom floor
5. energy inefficient house
Generally not very good translation of “the broad horizontal lines of the Dutch landscape” into a language used to design quality homes.
Anyone else doubt the enormous room where kitty reside is achievable as in the rendering and sections? Sponge architects must have a wizard engineer!
This is what we try and seperate ourselves from.
There is no project here, just poor and unreal images of something that will never be built.
If you live in a fantasy 3D video game, it’s all fine, but planet earth needs architects not sponge retard gamers.
To be firmly condemned.
