‘House in a House’由Wassenaars Spinbaanquarters地区20世纪80年代的排屋改建而来。如何将陈旧狭窄的民居改造成明亮宽敞、个性鲜明的现代化住宅，并且为户主提供充足的居住空间，是我们在设计中面临的主要挑战。最终，我们充分利用了室内高度创造出一个开放式的起居空间，特有的屋顶结构和顶层的窗户部分为室内增加了40平方米的空间，光线由此穿射而入，洒在住宅内部。
‘House in a House’ is the sustainable renovation of a terraced house from the 1980s in Wassenaars Spinbaanquarters. Our design challenge was to transform the dated and cramped residence into a bright, modern space with character, yet providing enough space for a family. The result is an open living space that makes smart use of the height of the house. Thanks to the rooftop structure and attic windows, another 40 m2 is gained, enabling light to stream into the centre of the house.
The living quarters are located around the atrium, thereby creating rooms of different shapes with interesting vistas. The stairwell spans over two floors and is a focal point of the house. The modern design and the inventive use of space ensures an experience and level of comfort far surpassing the original living experience.
Materials
Rugged materials with an unfinished but warm look were chosen for this renovation. The existing wooden floor at ground level was sanded down and oiled in a lighter color. For the kitchen we chose exposed concrete. The kitchen unit, mounted on wheels, was custom designed and made in oak with a stainless steel worksurface. The load bearing wall in the living room was finished with a concrete plaster and on the first floor a cork floor Is used. The roof structure is left ‘unfinished’, exposing beams and oiled Finnish pinewood floorboards. These warm natural materials stand in beautiful contrast to the white plastered walls.
Sustainability
Comfort and the environment are the main themes of this renovation. The house is designed from an ‘integrated sustainability’ point of view. Passive solar energy, natural ventilation, heating and cooling are all managed in the atrium. By placing a ‘house within a house', all rooms open up to the atrium. By closing or opening windows the rooms benefit from the warming and cooling qualities of the central space. This integrated system also creates a unique built environment.
This renovation includes the following features:
- Healthy living environment with natural ventilation and optimised light
- Reduced energy demand due to the use of insulating materials and good design
- Control of natural light through the use of blinds on the South side of the house
- The Atrium, retaining heat when required
- Solar panels for space heating / water heating
