plan 01
section 01
An old derelict farmhouse near the centre of Rotterdam, came in the market as a building site. Van Leer recognized the quality of the existing building and designed a plan to restore the old building, including an expansion that would bring back the original volume of the house. De rear part of the farm had collapsed in the 1950’s.

The old house has been given a new foundation and has been restored. On the front the building hasn’t changed, but behind the old building is an extension in radical new materials. On the inside and the outside materials have chosen that have the same rustic quality and color tones as the original building bit are al in contrast: the old building is masonry, painted wood and roof tiles, the new part is untreated wood, slate and steel.

The extension is covered with an open wood cladding, the cladding is continued on the windows in the form of shutters with the same wood and the same rhythm, thus rendering an abstract continuous form. The extension is a “shadow” of the old building.

So simple and straightforward- I loved epic, futuristic renders in college but this is the type of project I’d love to make nowadays.
Thank you very much. This is my first project on Archdaily. I thought is was special and glad you think so too
this is actually a cool house to live in. humble, but it doesnt lack of treatments on the details. like it. keep it up.
Thanks, I actually live in it :-)
What kind of wood was used? How was it treated?
Tachi, it isn’t treated
Thanks!
