For this single-family house Interisfeer has made a plan entirely in accordance with the information and wishes of the customer. Marieke, a nurse, likes to read in her spare time, preferably by fireplace. Her husband Wouter is a salesman by profession and has a passion for cooking. They also want to make their house cozy for their two children, a 12-year-old girl (Anneke) and a 16-year-old boy (Piet).
I split the space at the entrance in half, creating extra storage space (for kitchen supplies, etc.). From the largest open space I made the kitchen, with a dining area that connects to the living room. In line with the countertop, I made a seating area for two people. From this point you can not only look into the kitchen (nice for the children if they want to see their father, if he is cooking) but also the living room (with a view of the open hard).
The largest sleeping area I have asymmetrically divided in two: a master bedroom and a bathroom. To create enough space for a shower in the bathroom, I came up with a playful partition. From the bedroom family this is a (high) cupboard wall. Next to the master bedroom there is a separate bathroom, because in the morning in rush hour everyone wants to use a shower room at the same time. I used the other two small rooms as children’s rooms, with the same layout. The project is executed in light natural colours using sustainable materials.
