Brick Wall House in Woerden, Netherlands
Designed by 123DV architecture & consult, Brick Wall House is located in Woerden, Netherlands. The location of this residence is highly exceptional: flanked by small-scale detached semi-classical houses with gabled roofs on one side, a large apartment block planned on the other. The house represents the transition between these two worlds: the facade facing the apartment block is a 16 by 9 metre abstract closed wall with the exception of a protruding stairwell that offers an intriguing view along the facade; the other side of the building consists of an informal stacking of rectangular volumes.
The house, entirely built of brick, blends in with its surroundings. It is a lively type of brick, in a sleek bond with emphatically horizontal joints. The contrasting interior was kept as austere and clean as possible and features flawlessly plastered white surfaces. Kitchen, cupboards and built-in appliances are completely white as well. The dining table with a draw-leaf was specially designed for this house.
