Dear Client, Thank you for the opportunity.
It was a project that I ve worked on with pleasure. Specially when you are a fan of Tadao Ando & Mies!
I am curious about your thoughts, hopefully you will like it. Also, have some notes for you;
The Art pieces (on the walls, renders) are from my first Solo "Exhibition, called Lines, Graphics and The City". To my mind they fit perfect in this project. In case you are interested, the 40 photos has been exhibited. Photo's from Copenhagen, Istanbul, Brooklyn, Antwerp, Oslo, Paris, Amsterdam, Gocek, Rotterdam, Prague. 1 Architect, 10 cities
If you are interested and would like to buy also photo's for this project, please don't hestitate to reach out.
Regarding to this project. I tried to keep every detail that you have mentioned into mind and design a modern, secluded house with light plays in it, like Ando. Regarding the material cinder blocks and "fake" cast in-stu concrete has been used. Also the create a lightness, from the entrance the volume started to be divide by skylights. In this way, we don't see one mono block! Also, on the front you can find the service area (entrance, mudroom, bathroom, kitchen, pantry, guestrooms on 2nd floor), while going to the canal side you find the private areas (living room, garden, theater, office, gym, master bedroom on 2nd floor).
In case you choose for my design, I am also very happy to help with the construction phase and technical drawings.
Best regards,
