Villa Doonheide
Gemert

The design features an elongated gabled roof with a low gutter running parallel to the road, maximizing views and privacy toward the garden. To give the gable ends of all volumes an open and natural appearance, hydro-thermally modified Platowood Spruce slats were applied vertically. Given the roof’s overhangs with thatched coverings, a Weathered finish was chosen to ensure a uniform greying process. The wooden slats were fixed using domed nails, powder-coated in a RAL color matching the Platowood Weathered finish.

Double integrated garage

The garage, integrated into the main building and designed for two cars, is accessed via a wide electric sectional door. These garage doors are seamlessly concealed behind Platowood Spruce cladding, demonstrating how wood allows such elements to blend unobtrusively into the architecture.

Interior

Near the front door, Platowood Spruce was also used in a slatted screen in front of the window. This adds a warm aesthetic to the entrance and provides privacy to the foyer. The screen is removable for easy cleaning of the glass behind it. Referencing the exterior, Platowood Fraké was applied as both sheet and slatted material for a striking interior feature: a room divider between the dining and living areas. This vertical slat concept is thus literally extended into the interior.
