A villa as
a village

The house is enclosed with pleasant places to connect with a beautiful view of the green edge of Sloten. Within the inside of the house, the living spaces are oriented around a stone solid core. The central core houses the central stairwell and holds facilities such as kitchen, bathroom and technical rooms. A special play of light can be observed from various vantage points around the stairs.
