“Minimalistic yet daring” was the driving force behind this design. The closed front facade, crafted from raw prefab concrete, exudes grandeur. The slender, horizontally oriented windows create the illusion that the upper floor is gracefully suspended over the plot.

The striking overhang at the front accentuates the entrance, creating a futuristic interplay of light that makes a powerful statement. The ground floor is strategically positioned, allowing both the living room and kitchen to bask in optimal sunlight while maintaining a seamless connection to the garden. The architectural lines extend into the landscape, where the prefab concrete wall acts as both a boundary and a reflecting pond.

Building made more efficient

The house was meticulously designed to be constructed entirely from modular prefab concrete elements. This significantly accelerates the construction process and minimizes errors during building.

Embodying the essence of minimalist architecture, this design makes a powerful statement by blending abstract, raw design with luxurious living concepts. This modern minimalist concrete dwelling is a testament to the art of architectural ingenuity, creating a harmonious space that welcomes and inspires while exuding an air of timeless elegance, made possible by a prefab concrete building proces.

"Our ambition was to create a unique, minimalist design with a prefabricated concrete building method. The result shows that a true statement can be made with the prefab method."BRUCE VERDONSCHOT | Architect STATE

Water grounds the design

The water feature gives movement and dynamics to the design while grounding it in nature and context.

Integration of nature

Nature is literally integrated in the design with this tree. Looking at the existing context, it was possible to incorporate this tree into the design.
