The essence of the assignment was to create a contemporary living environment that is both comfortable and fully in harmony with the original main house dating from 1949. The distinct features of the design are high-quality materialization and improved detailing that allows a smooth transition between the existing and the new. The house is located on a corner plot along an avenue in the characteristic 1930s garden district known as Den Elzent, located near the center of Eindhoven. Additionally, the plot borders the natural landscape of the nearby city walking park (Stadswandelpark).
The original house was designed by local architect Ir. C. Geenen. It was later altered several times, including for use as accommodation for the sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As a result, the existing building is a monument in the urban landscape, and it was important to preserve its historical value.
The main concept of the renovation was to partially restore the building to its original state and to extend the ground floor to add extra comfort to the existing house. Equally important in the design was orienting the living areas toward the Stadswandelpark and the intimate private garden.
Based on this conceptual approach, the renovation was designed to connect the existing house with its surroundings, thereby enhancing the quality and potential of the plot in a natural way. The existing building was stripped of elements added over the years and restored to its former glory. Furthermore, the existing extension and a garden wall halfway through the plot have been removed, creating new possibilities for the pavilion-like design of the new building. The striking tree, a red Beech, has been relocated from the front garden to the back garden, as it were.
A further reflection of the existing architecture in the new addition is the natural stone ornamentation on the roofline, which has been reinterpreted in the roofline of the extension. The materialization of the extension consists of a combination of existing materials and modern applications. In addition to the natural stone eaves, a glazed brick has been used, the color and material of which match the existing building. The large glass surfaces of the new building contribute to the seamless tra nsition to the terrace and garden, with the floors and ceiling continuing from the inside to the outside. The integration of the surrounding landscape is further reinforced by roof indentations, enhancing the transitions between old/new and inside/outside.
Inside, the hierarchical spatial layout and the associated sight lines play a key role. The smaller, successive spaces in the existing house have been opened up where necessary and have been left intimate in other places. This rhythm of long sightlines versus cozy living spaces continues into the new extension. Great attention has been paid to careful detailing and materialization. Functional elements such as cupboards, acoustic panels, lighting, niches for curtains, and complete climate control are seamlessly concealed or are completely absorbed in the materialization of the home.
