A large corner overhang acts as the car port for this minimalist home designed by Francois Verhoeven Architecten in the Netherlands — a feature that works well with the rainy and windy Dutch climate.
Complying with the building and landscaping code of the area, the residence — dubbed K2 House — is clad in thin, brown wood strips throughout and was designed with three sloping roof areas, which give way to a patch of green roof, solar panels and skylights. These elements, paired with its southern orientation that takes advantage of the sun in the summer and winter, make K2 a sustainable build.
Contrary to typical cramped Dutch home hallways, the studio created a large entry hallway with bespoke cabinetry to stash shoes and coats in. The rest of the home embraces a contemporary and minimalist aesthetic with white walls, clean lines and modern furniture and lighting. Floor-to-ceiling windows face the lawn, with steps leading down to the water.
