The orientation of the new extension benefits the light and the view. Because of the extensive use of glass, the house is constantly connected to the forest and the light flow is improved. The volume consists of a timber frame construction of which the wooden roof structure creates a cozy atmosphere in the interior. In the long space there is a kitchen with dining area, a sitting pit and a hobby room with accompanying storage space. On the upper floor is a bedroom located.
The creation of this house is done as sustainably as possible. The main material chosen was wood so that the building structure could be prefabricated. The new building was designed as compact as possible and has a green roof that strengthens the relation between the house and its surroundings. The surrounding forest was fully preserved and even extended to the house. The existing front building has also been preserved and is now used as a workspace.
