Villa Vinkeveen 1
Location en history
The existing house on the Baambrugse Zuwe in Vinkeveen dates from the 1930s. It was originally built as a holiday home on a beautiful plot, directly located on water of the Vinkeveense Plassen.
The building was in a very poor condition, and the client decided to rebuild the entire house. We have created the plan for the realization of the new villa.
According to local regulations, it was possible to place a larger volume on this plot. In addition, it was possible to further enlarge the home by extending the ground floor. The L-shaped extention on the ground floor ‘embraces’ the main volume and is combined with a porch at the back of the house.
Design
The plot has an rectangular shape and we emphasized this in the design by “stretching” the ends of the saddle roof. Viewed from the inside, the roof literally points to the water. Moreover, this stretched roof gives a nice shadow effect on the flat stucco of the front and rear façade. The baseboard of the house is made of masonry and the upper mass in flat white stucco with hardwood frames. The roof is covered with dark gray slate tiles.
The house has a spectacular entrance, where we have designed an atrium with a height of more than 6.5 meters. The living area is very spacious with a large kitchen and living room. A see-through fireplace serves as a room divider. The first floor gives room to the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. On the attic floor there are two more spacious bedrooms and a shared bathroom.
The back of the house is made of glass as much as possible in order to experience an unobstructed view on the water of the Vinkeveen Plassen.
