On the 47 private parcels in Park North, at Leidsche Rijn in the city of Utrecht, individuals can realize their own detached homes. To emphasize the park-like surroundings at this location, staggering alignments have been chosen. Thus, the lots which are directly at the boundary of the Park North have room for spacious gardens and large trees on the front. Oppositional the other plots do have precisely an extra deep backyard. Park North is a watery area. In the south it borders the historic waterway Engh Wetering. The western part is parceled out so that all these plots could be placed around a pond. In all cases the plots offer the opportunity to realize a dream home with an extraordinary spacious garden. The homes must comply with the quality plan demands made by Faro Architects.
‘Modern living in a warm and comfortable home’
This in form traditional Dutch house is meeting the standards of the quality plan and is designed in a modern way with clean crisp lines and breached by abstract square window openings. This creates a strong contrast between the traditional and the contemporary. These principles have led to the dream home of the client.
The villa has an open space plan, and its spaciousness is felt everywhere. The oblique roofs are experienced in the double-height spaces. Due to the abstract square window openings a beautiful light illumination is to be seen inside the house.
