Farmhouse
Programme and spatial integration
In the rural area near Utrecht, a large farmhouse has been transformed into an exclusive house. An archetypal farm seems to be ‘pierced’ by a new wooden volume in the middle of the open countryside. With these interventions, the boundaries between inside and outside are shifted in various ways and the old building is energetically ‘fed’ by the new. What makes this assignment special is the integral approach at all scale levels, from refined garden design to spatial interior and from high quality detailing to a sustainability ambition. The farm consists of a traditional residence, where the layout has remained largely unchanged. This is where the children’s bedrooms, office, gym and guest accommodation have been incorporated. In the rear part the barn has been completely spatially transformed with living areas on the ground floor and a parental domain on the upper floor. The new volume houses a large garage, technical rooms and studio. The studio with its large windows focuses on the surrounding countryside. The new volume encloses a patio and forms a covered terrace linking to the living area.
Sustainability
There was a high ambition to create a highly sustainable house. Naturally, the existing farm is made sustainable, but the ‘motor’ is housed in the new volume. The house is heated and cooled using a heat pump. Tap water is heated with solar collectors, and electricity is generated with a large amount of PV cells in order to achieve a CO2-neutral solution. The new roof shape got a perfect angle in relation to the sun. In addition, the PV cells and collectors are recessed into the roof of the new volume so that they are not visible from ground level.
