Project:  Steel Study House II

Architect:  Archipelontwerpers

Location:  Leeuwarden, Netherlands

Function:  This modern home is a reiteration of a classical courtyard house, spreading fully across its lot while preserving a central void, onto which the adjacent rooms open. The central patio also divides the house programmatically, with the fully enclosed programs of bedrooms and service spaces facing the street, while the leisure spaces remain opened and face the lake. Lustrous powder-coated panels and operable louvers add texture and cladding to the 6m x 6m steel frame.  Read more about this project in the Architizer database.
