Wooden and Glass Villa Design Minimalist House

Wooden and glass villa design minimalist house located in Veenendaal, Netherlands, designed by Paul de Ruiter. The building plot is divided into three long strips at right angles to the road. The bottom and southernmost strip is reserved for the garden, the middle strip contains the villa itself and the most northern strip offers access to the wooden house.



In the floor plan of the minimalist house, is also divided into three strips over the 30-metre length of the villa. The eastern section, at the street side, contains the more ‘public’ functions: the entrance, study, kitchen and living; while the western section, furthest removed from the street, is reserved for the more intimate activities: a corridor that acts as TV lounge, the bedrooms and the bathroom. Each function has its own zone within the house, which can be cut off by means of translucent sliding walls. Every room in the villa looks directly out on to this home garden, because three of the four facades are made of glass. The spacious wooden terrace forms a room outdoors, partly covered by a wooden awning supported by steel brackets that taper upwards.
