For a spacious lot surrounded by nature and vast meadows, we were commissioned to design a new villa. We wanted to keep the atmosphere of a traditional farmhouse, but with our own modern twist. Inspired by the architectural style and materials of local farms and barns, ATELIER COENEN came up with a contemporary and open design to optimize the connection between inside and outside. The villa consists of two parts that form a cross, with a rustic character that blends well with the natural environment. In designing, we paid very close attention to the interrelationships of the pogram, with each part of the house relating to specific lines of sight to the outside and its use.
