K2是为荷兰北部的一个五口之家所设计的。这个地区由于过去30年的天然气赢利，很容易发生小地震。因此，采用木结构建筑而不是国家民间的砖头建筑，没有经过多少讨论。景观设计和建筑法规规定，建筑要有倾斜的屋顶和黑色或棕色的自然色彩。

K2 is designed for a family of five in the North of the Netherlands. This area is prone to small earthquakes because of the natural gas winnings over the past 30 years. So building in wood-frame construction instead of the national folklore in bricks was without much discussion. The landscaping and building code mandated an architecture with sloped roofs and natural colors in either black or brown.

起初，在这些限制下进行设计，感觉有点受限。但看看这个房子所处的更广阔的区域，严格控制的景观设计和城市规划效果非常好。尽管K2是简约的，被设计成一层楼的平房，但它确实很适合在K2周围的更传统的多层房屋之间。

At first, it felt a bit restricted to design within these limitations. But looking at the wider area where this house is built the strictly controlled landscaping and city planning worked out very well. Even though K2 is minimalistic and designed as a bungalow of one story it does fit in well between the more conventional multi-story houses that surround K2.

从技术上讲，K2的设计是面向南方的，其大部分玻璃外墙。北面的外墙的玻璃要少得多。南面的外墙有一个悬臂，以防止夏天的阳光加热房屋，而冬天则让阳光自由进入。能源消耗几乎为零。房子的能源来自太阳能电池板和地热泵。屋顶被设计成有三个倾斜的屋顶区域，其中看不见的区域有所有的太阳能电池板，但对看不见的太阳能电池板给予了特别关注。

Technically K2 is designed to face south with most of its glass facades. The north facade has much less glass. The south facade has an overhang to prevent the sun from heating up the house in the summer while letting the sun in freely in the winter. Energy consumption should almost be none. The house gets its energy from solar panels and a geothermal heat pump. Special attention has been given to the solar panels that can not be seen although The roof is designed to have three sloped roof areas of which the area out of sight has all the solar panels.

朝南的屋顶区域在视线范围内被植被和木墙板覆盖。这是一个重要的建筑声明。太阳能电池板将继续存在，是一种良好的清洁能源，但我们不需要生活在它们的主导地位和光滑的外观下。在可能的情况下，太阳能电池板可以在看不见的地方进行工作。与周围许多以太阳能电池板为主的房屋相比，K2的这种方式看起来更自然，更没有技术含量。

The roof area facing south and in sight is covered with vegetation and wood siding. This is an important architectural statement. Solar panels are here to stay and a good clean source of energy but we do not need to live with their dominant and slick appearance. Where possible solar panels can do their work out of sight. K2 that way has a much more natural and less technical look than many of the houses around it that have solar panels dominate aesthetics.

这座房子的材料主要是木材、混凝土和阳极氧化铝的暖色调。铝和细长的窗框与锯开的护墙板木材相结合，没有经过处理。材料在风化过程中是可以看到的。这座房子不需要什么维护，而在接下来的几年里，它将获得最终的外观和感觉。植被会越来越高，颜色越来越多，面向太阳的木材会越来越灰。铝制和混凝土的露台几乎不会有任何变化，确保房子保持其现代和新鲜的外观。

The materials of this house are mostly wood, concrete and anodized in a warmer tint of aluminum. The aluminum and slender window frames combined with sawn timbers for the siding are left untreated. Materials are to be seen as they are in their process of weathering. The house requires little maintenance while getting its final look and feel over the course of the next few years. The vegetation will get higher and more colorful, the wood facing the sun more grey. The aluminum and concrete terraces will hardly change at all making sure the house will keep its modern and fresh look.

考虑到荷兰通常的走廊，房子有一个大的大厅。这是房子的一个重要特征。它是你每天换外套和穿鞋的地方。它是你接待客人的地方。它是你房子的第一个空间，连接到所有其他空间。它应该不仅仅是功能性的。房子的入口是由一个大的无柱悬垂物塑造的，可以停放汽车。在荷兰多雨多风的气候下，这是理想的选择。在冬天，如果把车停在悬架下面，就不需要刮掉车窗上的霜。

The house has a large hall considering the usual Dutch hallways. This is an important feature of the house. It’s the hall where you change coats and put your shoes on every day. It’s where you receive your guests. It’s the first space of your house that connects to all others. It should be a whole lot more than just functional. The entrance of the house is shaped by a large column-free overhang where a car can be parked. Ideal in the Dutch climate with lots of rain and wind. In the winter there is no need to scrape off the frost of car windows when parked underneath the overhang.

而且，对于一个三口之家，即使与车库相比，这样上下车也要舒服得多。房子有极简的细节，没有排水沟和屋顶边缘。窗框与墙壁和护墙板后面融为一体。透过屋顶的灯看去，似乎墙体延伸到了天空，墙体灰泥和玻璃之间没有任何框架。这些细节很重要，确保它们不会分散房屋的空间质量和特征。像这样的建筑并不总是容易的，但一旦全部完成，大多数人都会发现这是值得的。

And with a family of three getting in and out of the car is so much more comfortable this way even compared to a garage. The house has minimalist details, free of gutters and roof edges. The window frames are integrated into the walls and behind the siding. It seems to look through the roof lights as if the walls extend into the sky without any frame between wall stucco and glass. These details are important to make sure they don’t distract from the spacial quality and character of the house. It isn’t always easy to build like this but once all is done most see it was worth it.
