Villa Meindersma in Haaksberger, Netherlands by Cie Architekten

Villa Meindersma stands on a free parcel at the end of a cul-de-sac on the edge of the village of Haaksbergen. The largely green surroundings comprise comprise villas from the seventies and present a rather timeless character. The Meindersma villa is an introvert house. All the rooms are organized around a patio.

The exterior facade has no windows, whereas the patio facade consists of only windows and doors. At the same time, there are frameless strip windows along the floor and the ridge of the roof, and sunlight moves like a corona of skimming light along the curves in the interior. These three strip windows offer a view of the garden and the sky.
