Rietveldhuis

Rietveld House! So ever build that

Building your own house is usually a unique opportunity, especially when it comes to new construction on a historic canal in Delft. The development most of the way of a DBFMO project: bringing together all responsibilities, roles and taken within the project has led to a high quality in space and use of materials.

Integrity by doing it yourself

By taking all aspects of the design and construction process into your own hands, the greatest possible control over the final result is achieved. Finding solutions for simple and complex sub-tasks within the plan led to a special result. For example, a large concrete basement as a basement was the ideal way to found the house and by constructing the house in wood, a large span in the living area was easily possible. The solid wooden wall and roof panel lift is a bell jar-like structure where the wood is the finishing touch. Doors and windows are literally cut from the same wood and together form a whole. The differences in level in the floor on the cellar provide a natural separation of functions in the open living space; Token, working, relaxing, billiards and drumming all happen under one roof, but in separate zones.
