“This is a renovation of a typical ‘Zoute’ villa in cottage style with white painted brick and thatched roof. Though the old house had great charm the disadvantage was that it was very dark and had very small spaces. Therefore a glass extension with minimal windows was added on the garden side and spaces were connected in a continuous and more open flow and layout. New materials such as red copper and natural stone were added to the existing ones to create a warm and embracing feeling. Inside the house an interesting mix was created of old cottage elements, contemporary design and ethnic art and antiques.”
