Villa with poolhouse
Sambeek

In a new residential area in the countryside of North Brabant, this modern villa immediately stands out. The combination of clean lines, minimalist design, and pure material use, hallmarks of BRUIS’s architectural style, makes this home a true eye-catcher.

The plot may be modest in size, but the strong lines and interplay of different materials lend the home a spacious and distinctive character. Platowood Fraké was used on both the house façade and the poolhouse, finished with Natural Color Oil.

Please note: this project was completed with an outdated version of the Natural Color Oil finish. Curious about our new colours? Order a free sample!

Geert Verschuren, architect and co-founder of BRUIS (part of IHC Architects):

“We frequently use Platowood—we really appreciate the sustainable modification process, the dimensional stability, and the appearance of the wood. For this home, we were looking for wood with a warm, dark tone. Platowood Fraké offers a beautiful contrast with the crisp white stucco and black aluminium window frames. On the house, we installed the wood horizontally; on the poolhouse, vertically. This gives the whole design a playful character. We are currently working on a new project with Platowood, where the wood continues into the interior.”
