On the southern edge of Delft stands this much-discussed and award-winning house. Maximum spatial quality and long sight lines are the key words here. The building structure is a kit of parts and the floors, walls, stairs et cetera consist of separate, prefabricated parts as well.

Optical illusion 

In order to maximize the volume, the building is completely rectangular and as high as allowed. Inside, all the rooms are organized around a diagonally placed service block, which runs across all three floors. This is where the facilities and wet rooms are located. As a result of this arrangement, the house has long sight lines and the spaces appear larger than they actually are.

Unprecedented spaciousness 

The various voids in the upper floors also give the house an unprecedented feeling of spaciousness. Just like the largely glass façades and interior walls in combination with the panoramic view over many miles.

All about lightness 

The technologies and materialization are also distinctive. Partly inspired by other industries where lightweight construction is particularly important, we have used various components for the first time in a residential setting.

A characteristic feature are the four-metre-high and two-metre-wide sliding fronts that connect to each other at the southern corners of the houses without an intermediate strut.
