In Amsterdam's Nieuw-West district, the site of the former police academy has been redeveloped into a neighborhood with plots for private housing. The future residents had a clear idea of what the house should look like. It had to be a modern house with a bold appearance.

The design consists of a main volume with a sloped roof combined with a lower extension with a flat roof. The sloping roof is relatively steep at the front. The steep angle combined with the large dormer reaching over two floors give the design its distinct character. The exterior of the house is designed entirely in hues of anthracite, in contrast to the eclectic interior.

The roof and the facades on the upper floors consist entirely of aluminum standing seam panels. The plinth is constructed of anthracite masonry. These two parts are separated by a strip window that grabs around the volume. By designing the house as a split-level home, a lively interplay between the various spaces is created.
