Family home, Amsterdam-IJburg

The spatial layout of this free plot house is determined by a centrally located core, where fixed elements such as sanitary facilities, storage spaces and the kitchen are organized on each floor. Straight through the cores, an open staircase space brings daylight deep into the heart of the home.

The spatial layout of this free plot house is determined by a centrally located core, where fixed elements such as sanitary facilities, storage spaces and the kitchen are organized on each floor. The core is marked on each floor by a wooden wall. Straight through the cores, an open staircase space brings daylight deep into the heart of the home.

Rondom de kernen is de ruimte op elke verdieping vrij indeelbaar. Het uiterlijk van de woning wordt getekend door een felgele baksteen met Hilversums formaat. Deze steen, samen met het opvallende puntdak maken de woning tot een optimistisch herkenningspunt in een buurt die veelal gekenmerkt wordt door donkere, kubische bouwvolumes.
