Villa Geldrop by Hofman Dujardin Architects
Hofman Dujardin Architects have designed the Villa Geldrop in The Netherlands.
.
Description from the architects:
The villa is located at the end of the site next to the existing barn. Through a long cut in the landscape the house is anchored on large surrounding. Under the ground level the bedrooms are located at this long sectional patio. The large living with dining area, kitchen, study area and playing area are located at the ground level and the 1st floor. Through voids, roof lights and high passages a tremendous spaciousness is created. The spaces which are located in the axe of the landscape are used for the sublime experience of the landscape.

Buried bedrooms along a cut in the earth? Two studies on the top floor? Pointless. Questionable finishes. Is this housing for masochists?

Very creative design. Its a beautifully executed combination of modern lines and traditional home shapes.
SPG –
Buildings finished with white walls and sparse decoration are the norm unless a buyer has already been lined up or was involved in the design process. Many buyers prefer houses to be “staged” like this because it allows them to finish the walls as they see fit. This is less expensive for everyone and better for the environment.
