This characteristic rural modern thatched villa was completed in early 2013 in the wooded area around Naarden. DENOLDERVLEUGELS was responsible for the design of the house, the interior, and the garden. The main building consists of two stories with a thatched roof. The façade is divided by a brick pillar, a stucco section, and an upper strip of hardwood sections. The color scheme is natural with a dark color (gray/blue) to accentuate the wooden window frames. A number of special dormer windows have been incorporated into the thatched roof to make the attic floor as functional as possible. The floors are accessed by a central staircase in a spacious atrium. The stairwell occupies a prominent place in the appearance of the house. The stairwell differentiates the main form. The staircase has large glass surfaces that provide beautiful light in the house. The main shape is further differentiated by an extension at the rear on which a roof terrace has been created. French doors provide access to the roof terrace, an attractive place where you can enjoy both the morning and evening sun. The kitchen at the rear of the building has its own thatched roof. The volume can be recognized as a separate part, but it flows from the main shape and provides a human scale within the spacious layout of the villa. The kitchen has been extended with a lounge area with a fireplace, with a beautiful oak roof structure above the dining area. In line with the kitchen, a spacious terrace has been created, surrounded by colorful borders and lush grasses. The annex has been built in the same style and materials as the main house. Human scale, changes in scale, recesses, and differentiation in form and material are the most important design factors of this villa. They give the villa excitement, a human scale, and a contemporary character without detracting from the classic setting.
