Greenhouses, grazing livestock, and small villages nestled among the peat lakes—this defines the surroundings of this distinctive, energy-neutral villa in the village of Noorden. The home is an ensemble of small buildings, each marking the division between the living, sleeping, and entrance areas. It is a tribute to both the village and the greenhouses.
Please note: this project was completed with an outdated version of the Burned finish. Curious about our new colours? Order a free sample!
Interior architect Gemma Tersteeg:
”Platowood wood is a sustainable product that lasts long and retains its natural appearance. We chose the Platonium 10 profile and the dark Burned finish to create volume. As you approach, you notice more refinement in the detailing, which we tailored to the profile. The metal window reveals ‘embrace’ the Platowood wood. Where an air vent or mailbox protrudes, the profile is recessed. The clear window frames form a beautiful contrast with the façade.”
On the waterside, the façade is open, while on the street side it is closed for privacy and traffic noise. For the façade cladding, the architects chose Platowood Fraké with our dark Burned finish. This subtly refers to the peat that was once used as fuel.
The house features many shapes. This requires a modest, uniform finish for both interior and exterior. From the very start of the design process, the architect and interior architect worked together to bring the two in harmony.
