Fishermans house in Leidsche Rijn

The assignment was about transforming a typology, of which three characteristics should be kept and should also be the reason for the transformation. The first interesting characteristic of the dutch fisherman's houses is the fact that you can see the landscape behind the house from the dike. The fisherman's house is also primitive, of a small scale and functions as a safe haven. I kept the very recognisable shape and lifted it above the ground level so you can see the landscape behind the house. The tree in the back helps to experience the deep lot. Inside the house the views from the front to the back are the most important. This is being articulated by the semi open sidewalls of the house.
