House S

Open house – own space
The concept of the central void with glass floors also bears an educational aspect. By means of the glass floors, a spatial transparency is created through which all spaces are connected. Children are brought up with the emphasis on ‘living together’, one of the main principals in education. At the same time everyone has the disposal of his/her own space.

Street – garden, closed – open, dark – light, strict – sculptural
The façade on street side is in every inch the opposite of the back façade. The design of the front is the result of the search for sunscreen, privacy, closeness, urbanism. Characteristic to the front façade is not only verticalism, but also the contemporary translation of roller-blinds, so often used in the past. The back façade, on the contrary, is open, clear, white with large windows, which gives the façade a sculptural character.
