That is the question we asked ourselves before designing our house,’haaghuis’ (meaning ‘superfine house in the Hague’).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For us, super fine means sustainable, light and comfortable. And so we have expressed that in the architecture of the house. An architecture that is primarily shaped by the combination of space for wonderful living, the shape of the plot and a favorable orientation to the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naturally the daylight enters as much as possible via the south-east and southwest fa\u00e7ades. Here the stone plinth and wooden frame form an open framework that logically orientates the wonderful living to the garden. Moreover, the south-east and south-west fa\u00e7ades within the list have a dynamic appearance. The open and close sliding slats provide good sunlight during the winter so that the house is partially passively heated, but prevent overheating in the summer. As a result the villa has got two faces: wood on the one hand and stucco with sliding slat screens on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n
