Arjen Reas has designed a big house in Zoermeer, The Netherlands. The project area was 744 square meters and the client, with family, wanted to find peace on the edge of the city. The site located where the city and open planes meet.

The designer mixed traditional ideas with a contemporary house design, a cubistic shape places in a desolate landscape, where all urban feeling is gone when you look at the surroundings.

The mix of two very different but recognizable materials in the Dutch landscape results in a both a modern and traditional structure. The fine texture of the thatch in combination with the smooth white plaster surfaces a house is formed that is very modern and traditional at the same time.

The interior successfully combines natural materials creating something unique. By designing a natural interior certain tranquility arises throughout each room and now there is also room left for the residents to restyle their space continuously.

One of the priorities while designing this house was to provide the residents with a magnificent view of the scenic landscape. This was successfully done within each room in the house. When sitting in bath or lying in bed, you still have a great open view at the landscape.
