Amsterdam studio Woonpioniers used pure supplies and prefabricated parts all through the Sprout Ruben & Marjolein home, which incorporates an open, greenhouse-like quantity.
Constructed as a prototype for the studio's Sprout idea, the home within the Netherlands was designed to include as many bio-based supplies as doable, together with a timber body construction and hemp insulation.
Designed by Woonpioniers, the home relies on a modular kind that’s meant to be transportable and adaptable, comprising partially prefabricated items that may be prolonged or shortened, in addition to linked and stacked.
For this prototype, which is situated in Olst, Woonpioniers created a small home comprising a two-story quantity coated with a single-pitched roof.
Delivered as a design and construct challenge, the home was designed in collaboration with its residents and includes a minimal association of areas and a pared-back palette of pure supplies.
“It was attention-grabbing to dig deeper into what we thought was actually vital to us and subsequently how we needed to reside,” Ruben Stellingwerf, one of many clients, advised Dezeen.
“We reside quite a bit smaller, nevertheless it doesn't really feel cramped or confined in any respect.”
Many of the home was clad in silver-colored picket slats, aside from a semi-outdoor residing space and a terrace at one finish of the home. Glass fills the timber construction across the higher edges of the area to create a transparent window, whereas timber-framed sliding glass doorways sit under.
Contained in the conservatory-like quantity, the studio added a eating space designed to be open to the surface area, in addition to a extra non-public workplace, which is separated from the eating room by partitions lined with wooden panels.
“In winter you 'harvest' a whole lot of warmth, which reduces your heating prices,” studio architect Leen Bogerd advised Dezeen. “When it will get heat, you open all of the doorways and also you even have a unbelievable porch.”
On the opposite wall, an extra sliding glass door in a picket body results in a kitchen embellished with yellow painted woodwork and a honeycomb sample backsplash.
Past the kitchen, a picket staircase was situated throughout the corridor from a downstairs rest room with picket cabinets.
On the higher stage a terrace space was coated with a low, sloping ceiling. Appearing as a mezzanine stage within the conservatory-like portion of the home, the terrace presents views of the eating space under, in addition to framed views of the sky by a glass roof.
A skylight may be opened as a part of the roof to supply limitless views from the higher ground.
“Moreover the greenhouse, the terrace is our favourite place in the home,” fellow buyer Marjolein Bartels advised Dezeen. “With somewhat solar, you possibly can already sunbathe there very comfortably and you can even go stargazing there within the night.”
The terrace is related to a bed room, the place the ceiling slopes upwards to create the sensation of a extra spacious room.
“We constructed the home as a prototype, however for actual purchasers,” defined the studio. “Due to this fact, it additionally has extremely custom-made interiors and a custom-made foremost configuration that alters our versatile idea.”
“After this and one other 'prototype', we developed the main points of the Sprout in such a approach that we may construct extra customized initiatives,” he continued. “We imagine Sprout might be the subsequent step in the direction of tiny properties in Europe.”
