All windows are double glazed while the green roof can provide additional insulation to help to maintain the constant temperature in the bedroom. The large water tank is used to capture roof water and reused to flush toilets and water the garden. The high-performance insulation is everywhere in the house, including in the walls of the original house. The roof is covered by solar panels with micro-inverters.
This house has a clear plan that grafted onto an axes cross, while the length of the house is intersected by the bright, double-height hall. Along the front and rear facades, the long sightlines are created because doors between the rooms can be slid complete. The bathroom, wardrobe, bedroom, kitchen, dining area, and living room merge but also make an intimate, private impression at the same time. The exterior is elusive and exciting due to the high degree of abstraction.
The architect uses a multi-level arrangement theme to design this summer house, especially with its warm interior. The house itself has generous covered terraces, designed and dominated with wood materials. The floor of the house is also used as a prospect to deliver a comfortable atmosphere and create an attractive appearance just like a summer house in general.

Sustainability is always at the very core of each project, including RaeRae House. This house is designed to be long-lasting and durable. The highly sustainable and high-quality materials are used for the whole area of the house. The slate roofing offers a robust surface without maintenance and with a long life span.

Nuenen House is gas-free and all-electric, prepared architecturally to be self-sufficient. It has structural sustainability measures that have been detailed, including the grids and channels. These grids and channels for heat recovery are part of the fitted wardrobes and suspended ceiling.
By using natural materials, oak and copper, the periods’ expression can be inforced and the existing red bricks also can be complemented. For the exterior areas, corten steel and granite stone are also added. A coherent, warm expression comes from attention to detail, a balanced color scheme, and formal abstraction. This expression can bring back to life the old “Munthes gate 29” award-winning building timeless, classic qualities.
This house doesn’t project into its garden but it allows itself to be interpenetrated and surrounded by this garden. The formal part of the garden and the front street is reminiscent of French geometric style that composed of box trees and horizontal strips of perennials. One can find a private garden space behind the hedge of shaped yew trees. This garden space is designed in the natural English park style.
This subtraction can improve the light quality that emitted to the private garden and the overall volume is given a less continuous expression. The facade of the house is beautified by a cedar cladding in a concrete base. A wooden frame is added to the windows just like the edges with a profile given to emphasize the precise shape to the house.
