A small-scale infill project in Hilversum, the Netherlands. In a district with mainly simple housing from the sixties a construction site came free. It was the former home of Sjoukje Dijkstra (famous Dutch figure-skater) and her pony stables which were demolished.Our client wanted a building with a quirky architecture which emanates allure and a maximum building option. Parking on own property and a green courtyard.The residential building is opened up on the north side with a staircase and elevator. This façade is quite closed and made out of, respectively, sand-colored masonry (Utrecht format) and Nova zinc. The peculiarity of this side of the building is the cut out and protruding zinc entrance which is made entirely out of glass.The south side is mainly made of glass and detailed with Nova zinc. Large outdoor areas with outdoor cabinets which have been processed in the zinc. The façades and the roof overflow into each other and are connected by material use and glass cuts.The gable ends follow the forward sloping facades and are nowhere equal to each other.The windows in the facades are a translation of the floor plans. Placed low in the bedrooms, and placed high at the kitchen side.An example of how with a simple compaction, together with a small residential area in a regular neighborhood, even a special place can be created.
