Private Residence Randstad: Contemporary Residence with Minimalist Detailing

78Located in Rotterdam, Private Residence Randstad is designed by Fokkema & Partners. The architect needs two years to complete this awesome project. Private Residence Randstad was built in neo-renaissance architecture. Today, this residence has been changed to a contemporary living place with minimalist detailing.

Characteristic

The characteristic of this residence is located at its layout. The front and back of the house are different. The ground floor is very easy to be accessed from the street level. There is also a semi-basement connected to the house backyard.

Spaces

The 1900’s households use the souterrain area for the storage, utilities, kitchen and also a small place for working. The main living room is located on the upper floor. Some of the comfortable living values are changed to connect the spaces with the green urban garden.

Details

The brick on the front house is replaced with the glass facade and large steels. The void with the open staircase can connect the souterrain with the upper floor. The double glass doors are added to bring daylights to the house interior.
