Farmhouse Transformation / Wenink Holtkamp Architecten

closed

The mixture of different ambiances and of materials makes this design unique in its spatial experience. No space is the same and all have their own qualities. The meeting of modernity and tradition not only comes together in the architecture but is also carried through in all the details of the interior.Text description provided by the architects.This typical dutch long-gabled farmhouse is located in a protected village and has cultural and historical value. For the renovation, we designed the farmhouse in such a way that towards the village, the historic appearance is preserved and strengthened, but towards the spacious and deep backyard the building unfolds as a modern villa. Both on the outside and on the inside, a contrast has been applied: between historic and contemporary, between seclusion and openness.Residents can now choose the enclosed cozy spaciousness of the historic farmhouse or opt for the open connection to the garden. A wide wooden overhang frames the glass facade and provides shade.A unified extension across the full width of the long-gabled farmhouse brings a modern layer and an ideal connection to the outdoors. After all, it was the client's wish to involve the garden as much as possible in their daily life.
