Located at a historical rural pathway, these tectonic volumes house 16 modular and energy efficient dwellings tailored for first-time buyers, effectively addressing the Dutch housing crisis.
Facades: Modern hamlet
Side facades: East (above) and West
Front and back facades: South (above) and North
Driven by the Dutch housing crisis, the town hall's interest lies in densifying the residential area while preserving its historical farmland context.
The front area features an orderly orthogonal layout, reminiscent of the serene farm meadows nearby, adorned with cherry trees, willows, and charming wadis.
As we navigate the complexities of the modern era, this PROJECT champions the preservation of agrarian heritage, intertwining it with the elegant threads of innovation. The farm, once an incubator of subsistence activities, is now celebrated as an icon of timeless design and sustainable ethics.
“The results blends rural heritage with contemporary aesthetics.”

Site plan – These 16 houses are thoughtfully organized into five clusters, with 4 clusters consisting of 3 units each and 1 cluster comprising 4 units, all spanning 80 sqm. Aligned along the street, the clusters create a captivating streetscape, featuring weathered bamboo facades that step back and forth providing each unit with distinct private south-oriented outdoor spaces that double, in some units, as entrances.
