This villa in the dunes of Hook of Holland is designed for an art-loving couple. Their wish: a house in a dune landscape.
The existing dune landscape has been re-shaped and draped around the villa to make a perfect fit. The new dunes create accesses to the villa from different levels. The bel-etage is organized around a patio and hovers above a hollow on the east side, while on the west side a lazy staircase opens the dunes directly from the living room. The bel-etage sits on top of a heavy concrete basement with the formal entrance from the street. Deep within this bunker, half covered by a dune, is a private residence for guests. The guesthouse has an own front door and facilities. The top level is a modest bedroom with a balcony where the roof cum staircase leads to a private rooftop terrace providing a panorama on the surrounding dune landscape and its bunkers. The sea lures at the horizon.
