Located in Rotterdam, MVRDV architects designed the Casa Kwantes as a residential villa that represents 1930s Dutch architecture with its brickwork. With 480 m² in size, this residence can give its residents the privacy they desire and at the same time opens up the house towards the garden and daylight. It is a private home that also has a distinct night-daytime separation.
