Text description provided by the architects. The elongated, south-facing building site offers a wonderful view into surrounding meadows and fields. The decision to position the building centrally on the plot, results in a layering of private and semi private outdoor areas north and south of the house. The carport with 2 storage boxes and a workshop forms a spatial barrier to the street and hides behind the leafy courtyard with a circular pergola. This introverted exterior serves as a buffer zone to the actual residential buildings. The internal organization of the two houses follows similar rules, but varies in shape and size. In both volumes, the living and dining area spreads on the ground floor as a large one-room over the entire depth of the building. A spatial structure is created by centrally positioned service rooms, kitchen and stairs. The bedrooms on the first floor benefit from floor to ceiling glazing, which provide views and spaciousness.
