阿特拉斯之家位于埃因霍温市的边缘，对面是一个历史悠久的农村庄园。这个紧凑的方形建筑表现为一座塔。它相对于街道旋转了45度，并与地块的边界相分离。所有的窗户都集中在拐角处，有时还允许通过体量的对角线来观察。在内部，这种旋转提供了沿着森林边缘的引人注目的视野。外墙开口的深度显示，砖的大小和颜色在内部和外部都是一样的。这些确定了原始和克制的内部特征。外部立面没有提供任何关于内部空间的游戏性偏移的线索。内部显示出一系列不同高度和楼层的房间，每个房间都有其各自的窗户开口的具体特点。
The Atlas House is situated on the edge of the city of Eindhoven, opposite a historic rural estate. The compact square building manifests itself as a tower. It is rotated 45 degrees relative to the street and is detached from the boundaries of the plot. All windows are grouped around the corners and at times allow for diagonal views through the volume. Internally, the rotation provides striking vistas along the edges of the forest. The depth of the façade openings reveals that the size and colour of the bricks is the same both inside and outside. These define the character of the raw and restrained interior. The external facades offer no clues about the playful offsets of the internal spaces. The interior reveals a collection of rooms of various heights and floor levels, each giving their respective window openings specific characteristics.
在这个不大的地块上，一个宽敞的住宅必须与客户对花园的愿望相结合。因此，在给定的建筑高度内，房屋的占地面积被最小化，形成了一个垂直的组织方案。由于附近的房子很近，花园里的私密性是有限的。因此，塔式结构提供了一个具有最大私密性的屋顶平台，人们可以在树梢之间居住。
On this modest plot size, a spacious residence had to be combined with the clients wish for a garden. Therefore, the footprint of the house is minimized within the given building height, resulting in a vertically organized program. Due to the proximity of the houses in the neighbourhood, the amount of privacy in the garden is limited. Hence, the tower-like structure offers a roof terrace with maximum privacy where one can dwell between the treetops.
阿特拉斯之家 “的内部和外部都是用大量的红砖建造的。对于外墙，使用了引人注目的拉丝形式的点缀，创造了一个强烈的图形图案。在整个体量中，外墙包含了一些装饰，这些装饰参考了荷兰新文艺复兴时期的传统，即用石膏来丰富普通的砖砌体，暗示了诸如键石和拱门等建筑元素。建筑的上部用浅色的水泥层装饰，将古典的基座与更轻的顶部区分开来。屋顶微微翘起的角进一步强调了这一主题，让人想起希腊神话中的阿特拉斯，他将天空扛在肩上，直到永远。
The Atlas House is built with large types of red bricks, both inside and outside. For the facades, a striking brushed form of pointing is used, creating a strong graphical pattern. Across the volume, the facades contain decorations that refer to the Dutch Neo-Renaissance tradition of enriching ordinary brickwork with plaster, suggesting architectural elements like keystones and tympans. The upper part of the building is finished with a light-colored layer of cement, distinguishing the classical plinth from the more lightweight top. The slightly lifted corners of the roof further emphasize this theme, bringing Atlas to mind, the Greek mythological figure that carries the sky on his shoulders for eternity.
