Contemporary Dutch Villa / EVA Architecten
The villa is situated overlooking the river Hollandse IJssel. The riverside has been kept transparent to maximise the view, the dyke side has a more modest, closed character to guarantee privacy.

Tapping into the open building movement, Superlofts offers its residents the freedom to design and/or self-build their homes from scratch incorporating any hybrid function, and co-create the shared spaces as a community.
Rotterdam based firm Eklund Terbeek architecten designed a spatial apartment loft in a former school building from 1912. The building has been transformed into six apartments through Collective Private Commissioning.
Not only the new residential pavilion, but also the complete internal renovation of the house was part of the project. The main entrance of the house is been moved to the facade of the new pavilion.
The Willem II fabriek (an artist-run initiative and concert hall in Den Bosch) had a limited budget for the interior of their café. So we decided to make a design only for half of the space: we divided the two rooms horizontally in two halves.
Jvantspijker Architects have designed a sturdy cube-shaped house in the centre of Rotterdam. With its spatial 3-dimensional layout the building allows a modern family to meet the paradoxical demands of urban life. The house provides community as well as privacy to its inhabitants and it is both connected to and sheltered from the street and the surrounding city.
How do you transform a 50-year-old villa into a comfortable, contemporary, modern sustainable home? To find the answer, the architect Theo Reitsema and the interior designer Stephanie Weitering, who are married to each other, spent a year living in a 1967-built house in the Dutch community of Rijssen, looking, listening and feeling.
This Energy Efficient House project was about breaking new ground, healing wounds, making a fresh start, collaboration, cooperation, listening, site-specific sensitivity, efficiency, cost effective design – in short, what we think architecture is about.
