在荷兰东部一个不大的城市奈梅亨（Nijmegen）的树林和意外的环境中，隐藏着一块美丽的地块，从街上几乎看不到。一个理想的居住地。2016年底，业主–一个来自奈梅亨的年轻家庭找到了恩格尔建筑事务所，要求在这里设计他们的梦想之屋。它必须是一个现代的房子，但有一个温暖的感觉，要相对大，但感觉适中。
In the wooded and accidental surroundings of Nijmegen, a modest city in the eastern part of the Netherlands lies a beautifully hidden plot, hardly visible from the street. An ideal place to live. At the end of 2016, Engel Architects was approached by the owner, a young family from Nijmegen, with the request to design their dream house here. It had to be a modern house but one with a warm feeling, to be relatively large but feel modest.
这座房子是相当现代的，设计上有某种优雅和精致。悬臂给了房子一个亲密的特征，大玻璃表面将自然带入室内。建筑体量由四个不对称的体量组成，每个体量都与人的尺度密切相关。不对称的设计方法使得每个房间的大小都能准确地适应它所要达到的功能。
The house is quite modern and designed with a certain elegance and sophistication. The overhangs give the house an intimate character, the large glass surfaces bring nature inside. The building volume is made up of four asymmetrical volumes, each of which is closely related to the human scale. The asymmetrical approach of the design makes it possible to size each room exactly to suit the function it is intended for.
对客户来说，重要的是每个空间都能得到自然的日光。在房子周围，周围的地形在一些地方被降低，所以自然光也可以进入地下室的房间。
It was important to the clients that each space was provided with natural daylight. Around the house, the surrounding terrain is lowered in some places, so the natural light can also enter the rooms in the basement.
屋顶被设计成双弯的蝴蝶屋顶。这种形状对房子在地块上的精确位置是公正的，并加强了各个房间与周围花园的关系。
The roof is designed as a double-curved butterfly roof. This shape does justice to the precise location of the house on the plot and strengthens the relationship of the various rooms with the surrounding garden.
房屋的具体化是对地块上各种材料仔细考虑的结果。建造房屋的浅色砖块完美地融入了林地的绿色环境中。橡木窗框的温暖色彩与之形成了鲜明的对比。
The materialization of the house is the result of careful consideration of various materials on the plot itself. The light brick from which the house is constructed fits perfectly into the green surroundings of the wooded plot. The warm colors of the oak window frames contrast beautifully with it.
花园的设计是由Buro Mien Ruys创造的。在花园里，你可以居住、行走和消失。直线被保留到最低限度。在一些地方，树木和植物一直延伸到房子，所以在房子里几乎可以感受到该地块的绿色特征。
The garden design was created by Buro Mien Ruys. In the garden, you can dwell, walk and disappear. Straight lines are kept to a minimum. In some places, the trees and plants reach as far as the house, so the green character of the plot can almost literally be felt inside the house.
