HOME 06
This
residence at the Singel, Amsterdam (NL) exists from one open space where
several functions have been put into freestanding objects. The kitchen and
wardrobe are placed near the entrance and combined into one single volume.
The
bath- and bedroom is hided into a volume which is placed at back of the house.
From the open living area you look alongside the volume towards the vertical
garden and the entrance stairs to the roof terrace. The view on the green wall
holds a promise in itself which will be redeemed once you enter the
bed/bathroom. The small measurements of this combined bed and
bathroom are in contrast with its spacioucesness, while containing a private
and personal feeling.
The
panorama on the overgrown plantwall and the contrast with the minimalistic
white bed/bathroom provides an intense experience. Integration of nature is an
important aspect of traditional culture in Japan, the homeland of the client. The
integrated in-house vertical garden is an example of this. Other features where
simplicity and minimalist details.
This project has won the Bathroom design awards 2010.
