Villa Nieuw Oosteinde

Engel Architecten has realized a villa with a building system that has its roots in industrial and commercial buildings.

The villa is made from prefabricated concrete elements. This system is widely used for industrial and commercial buildings, but this is one of the first times it has been used for a villa. One of the big advantages is the cost and the building speed, without having to make concessions in the quality of materials and the spatial experience.

It consists of a perfect cube placed in the axis of a green strip in a newly formed neighborhood in Aalsmeer, a medium-sized town close to Amsterdam. Next to the cube a small workspace is placed. The workspace is connected to the main volume by a glass corridor. On top of the house there is a roof terrace with a built-in kitchen.
