The house is located directly at the park of the new residential area of Nieuw Leyden. With being planed as high as possible within leaving the urban envelope, the building needs to be embedded into the ground for one meter. With the kitchen oriented on the ground floor towards the park , the design offers beautiful relations between public space and interior with unusual height differences. Within the strategy of different hight-levels and gaps, the house provides relation towards the park even for the living area on the first floor.
The depth of the quite individual, metal-sheeted façade provides in addition a lounchy seat right in the transition between public realm and interior.
