  • Architect René van Zuck's house resembles two boxes stacked on top of each other.

  • A long corridor and a short, steep staircase lead down to the largest room in the house, the lounge.
  • 30 square meters of floor space and a direct view of the water.
  • The nice thing about the living room is that you have a really nice view over the garden and over the water.
  • You have a view, in this window you can see parallel to the water and this window you will look perpendicular to the water and you have a really feeling that you're next to the water.
  • And that for us was very important when we designed the house.
  • If you look at the house, the house is split level, so that means the street is one meter and a half higher than the living room and the kitchen.
  • That means that the corridor of the kitchen is on this height.
  • And behind the corridor you have the stairs which goes up to our bedroom.
  • The stairs come out of the volume into the kitchen and we made them more like sculptures in the kitchen.
  • It's quite an extravagant idea.
  • Strict Dutch construction regulations usually put an end to plans like this.
  • So in order to build the house they wanted, René van Zuck and his wife moved to Almere, to what's called the Fantasy Quarter, a state-sponsored project for creative architecture.
  • At The beginning of the 1980s, the city set aside land where architects were allowed to The past 30 years has seen the construction of quite a few unconventional buildings, like this container house, and they've now become tourist attractions.
  • Van Zuck designed two buildings here.
  • The first one, from 2004, is his office.
  • The residential house was added in 2008.
  • The cement fiber cladding is especially intricate.
  • More than 100 sheets were altered by hand to create this branch pattern which covers the building.
  • All the architecture we make is a very sculptural architecture and it has a lot to do with the way we work.
  • We actually design with models, so we make one model after another.
  • That makes, most of the time, gives you a more sculptural architecture than it will give you when you work with a pen and a drawing.
  • The house has about 215 square meters of living space.
  • The bedrooms are on the upper story.
  • It's all quite small here, and the view is restricted.
  • The children's room is brightly painted.
  • Eleven-year-old son, Art, has nine square meters of space to play in.
  • The bathroom is next door.
  • This is the bathroom.
  • We have a very small bathroom, but it's set together in such a way that you need the minimum amount of space as possible.
  • The upper story is clad in oak paneling.
  • The emphasis is on the architectural design, which remains uncluttered thanks to the minimalist approach to decoration and furniture.
  • Thank you for coming.
  • It was nice to be having you here.
  • Bye.
