来自离阿姆斯特丹相对较近的小城市Nigtevecht的客户，希望在一个独特的地点，即该镇的历史村落中心，建造一个有特色的房子。该村位于Vecht河沿岸，由一个被列入清单的历史中心和几个计划中的扩建项目组成。
Clients from the small city Nigtevecht, relatively close to Amsterdam, had the wish to build a characteristic house at a unique location, the historic village center of the town. The village, situated along the river the Vecht, consists of a listed historic center and several planned expansions.
房子所在的 “De Dorpstraat “是受保护的村庄中心的一部分。村庄的这一部分以其深深的前花园和相对较小规模的两层楼房和倾斜的屋顶而闻名。街道上的每栋房子都有自己的特点，允许在街景中相当古典的建筑中进行现代的诠释。
‘De Dorpstraat’, where the house is located, is part of the protected village center. This part of the village is known for its deep front gardens and relatively small-scale two-story houses with a sloped roofs. Each house in the street has its own individual character, allowing for a contemporary interpretation among the rather classical buildings in the streetscape.
房子通过将周围建筑物的建筑重点纳入设计，但又有现代感，从而获得其现代的外观。特别注意的是各种（砖石）结合的砖结构，例如，基座上的直立砖，窗框上方的士兵课程，以及凹陷的入口。通过将窗框凹进到砖砌结构后面，房子的整体性得到了强调，而房子的整体形状则给人以亲切感。
The house gets its contemporary appearance by incorporating architectural accents from the surrounding buildings into the design, but with a modern twist. Special attention has been paid to the brickwork in various (masonry) bonds, for instance, the upright standing bricks in the plinth, the soldier courses above the window frames, and the recessed entrance. By recessing the window frames behind the brickwork, the monolithic character of the house is emphasized, while the overall shape of the house gives it an inviting and friendly appearance.
砖石的红褐色是根据客户和邻近建筑的愿望定制的，这样，尽管房子的外观很现代，但却能与周围环境完美融合。平坦的屋顶瓦片上装有集成的太阳能电池板，其颜色几乎与屋顶瓦片本身相同，使其难以被发现。因为太阳能电池板是凹进去的，所以不影响屋顶的圆滑形状。
The red-brown color of the masonry is tailored to both the wishes of the clients like the neighboring buildings so that the house, despite its modern appearance, blends seamlessly into its surroundings. The flat roof tiles are fitted with integrated solar panels in nearly the same color as the roof tiles themselves, making them difficult to spot. Because the solar panels are recessed, the sleek shape of the roof is not affected.
附属建筑的包层由经过热改性的、水平放置的木质包层组成，突出了房屋的温暖外观。附属建筑的木材自然老化，随着时间的推移会变成灰色，与房屋其他部分的应用色彩方案完全一致。
The cladding of the annex consists of thermally modified, horizontally placed wooden cladding which accentuates the warm appearance of the house. The natural aging of the wood of the annex will turn grey over time and is perfectly in line with the applied color scheme of the rest of the house.
