Villa V
Back to overviewNestled in the protected Bloemendaal dune area, in Brederode Park, we designed an energy-neutral villa equipped with every luxury and comfort. Preserving the surrounding landscape was the primary focus of the design. We built the villa on a dune slope using as many natural materials as possible.
Entrenched in the Landscape
We devised a design that allows the villa to take full advantage of its dune-slope location. The first floor rises above the ground floor and the rolling landscape. The north and south facades feature large sliding glass panels and French oak, while the other two facades are constructed of preserved Waxedwood. A large skylight in the center of the house allows daylight to flood the heart of the building. We used reclaimed wood salvaged from an old ship for the entrance and garage.
Efficient energy management
In the garage, we organized the technical room where the geothermal energy storage system is installed and the heat pump is located. On the roof, we designed a varied pattern of moss and sedum planting and solar panels to generate energy.
Minimalist design extends to the interior
We collaborated with interior designer i29 to continue the use of natural, minimalist materials indoors. Large expanses of veneered plywood connect the various spaces in the villa.
