The lot has a size of 1.580 m2 and the villa has a volume of 2.493 m3. The villa is designed in accordance with the philosophy of the masters of early modernism, the architects Richard Neutra and Frank Lloyd Wright. Starting point of this movement is: ": ‘Comfortable sitting inside, while you have the feeling that you are outside'. (D.Neutra). While designing the house first of all the environment is closely examined before designing the house itself. This results in a harmony between the environment and the house. The spacious living/dining room with a wall-to-wall glass front is therefor situated on top of the ground floor allowing for a peaceful unobstructed view on the forest in the background. This is enhanced by the use of the same natural building materials of the inside walls, floors and ceilings also for the outerspace. The "inside equals out" feeling is thus reached . All bedrooms situated on this floor do have the same wall-to-wall glass front and each its own entrance to the balcony. The swimming pool, besides to enjoy swimming, is also meant to add the soothing element of water. Every detail of the house breathes the spirit of early modernism, with a positive influence on the human condition as the central theme. The house is designed to change and enrich your life. The house is well maintained. The use of mainly sustainable materials such as concrete, steel, aluminum and marble, adds to the villa being solid an in need of few maintenance. The kitchens and the bathrooms are outdated and in need of an upgrade. You are invited to experience yourself the very welcoming, peaceful character of this home, centrally located in the Netherlands near all (public) facilities together with a green setting.
