Villa
Nieuwkoop

In the province of South Holland, this modern home stands amidst the natural surroundings of Nieuwkoop. The white villa, designed by Van Manen and built by Bouwbedrijf Fred Verweij, is structured as a rectangular volume with carved-out sections for a south-facing balcony and a carport. By alternating white plasterwork with Platowood Fraké cladding and brickwork, a visual rhythm is created in striking contrast.

Please note: this project was completed with an outdated version of the Natural finish.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

The chosen profile is Platonium 10 in the former dimension of 33×140 mm. The shadow gaps between the boards give the appearance of narrow slats that emphasize the building’s clean lines. The wood is finished with an oil treatment to preserve its warm brown tone.

Architect Robbert Dessing of Van Manen:

“The client specifically requested Platowood for the façade because of its qualities and visual appeal. I explored the available profiles and applications and ultimately proposed a vertical orientation to highlight the vertical design of the house.”

View over the Zuideinderplas

The living spaces are located on the first floor, where large windows offer sweeping views of the Zuideinderplas lake. In contrast, the ground floor is more enclosed, as it houses the bedrooms.
