Designed by Amsterdam Architect, O+A, the villa has an awsome facade. O+A was commissioned by a private client to design the addition to a detached villa. The Architect used wooden deconstruction at the extension building as the vocal point of Villa. The project brief entailed the design of a carport for two cars and a conference space. In avoiding a cacophony of material and form, the villa was taken as a starting point for this latest addition. The particular shape of the roof is a result of bureaucratic zoning law limitations, technical limitations in constructing a foundation next to the existing house, and demands in terms of use. The architectural ambition is especially evident beneath this roof, where the functions ‘conferencing’ and ‘parking’ form two intersecting L-shaped volumes. The climatised conference space is enclosed with minimally detailed, structural glazing. The carport is not climatised and is enclosed with timber boards, which seamlessly continue into the ceiling- and wall finishing. Beneath the roof, an interesting dialogue arises between material and space. The project was completed in July 2009.
