House N (Noordwijk, Nl)
Noordwijk, Netherlands
Built
in 1938, this Noordwijk seaside villa was originally the holiday home of a
concrete factory owner. Battered and blustered by the salty sea weather over
the decades, the house was in need of renovation.
Besides roof replacement and basement repairs, the bedrooms, bathrooms and
windows were outdated and some spaces had grown too small for the clients’
requirements.
Maxwan’s additions bring new distinctive features to the house, while
respecting its original character.
Extending into the back garden with floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides is
the new living room, which maximizes light and views from among the treetops
towards the garden and further out to the sea.
In the opposite direction stretches the new kitchen, incorporated in a single
precast concrete block. Its color contrasts to the existing house while
harmonizing with the surroundings.
Both extensions of the new kitchen and living room are clearly separated from
the existing structure with glass slits, through which the sky dramatically
bursts.
The bespoke spiral staircase connecting the uppermost levels elegantly uses the
balustrade to support the treads, with the laser-cut pattern blending from
closed to open for structural efficiency and recalling the breaking waves. The
attic is given a new lease of life by new multi-functional wall furniture and
large windows.
In addition to these major components, the entire house is renewed in a manner
complementary to the original house
