Set within a wooded landscape, i29 Architects design a villa with expansive sightlines to create a strong connection with the surrounding landscape.
Intricately arranged with strategically placed courtyards and terraces, this contemporary home is designed to maximize natural light and create continuity between interior and exterior spaces.
The minimalist facade cladded in uniform vertical wood slats, serves a backdrop to the verdant landscape with diverse native plantings.

Through ceiling variations and volumes arranged for interior program, the architecture maximizes views to the landscape with large windows.
Distinct spaces are designed to create a sense of privacy with immediate access to the landscape, offering a combination of greenery with natural materials that blurs the boundaries.
The villa’s five interconnected volumes of architecture vary in size and positioning, resulting in a dynamic exterior view from every angle.
Enhancing the cohesion of the ground floor, a central corridor doubles as a patio with dining, which opens up the inner course to air and light.
Throughout the architecture, outdoor rooms clearly define different areas and functions for the house.
The gardens, designed by Frank Heijligers Studio B.V., incorporates native plant species from the region to surround the home like it’s been carved from the landscape.
