The concept used to build this duplex is creating an environment where everything is on display. With that in mind, the firm went with open shelves of the lower and upper kitchen cabinets, showcasing a huge collection of cooking supplies and appliances which are usually used for the son’s experiments for healthy packaged food.
In this project, the firm banished the existing four-story brick building and opted for a two-story extension instead.
With the large and clear glass wall, everyone can enjoy the view of beautiful the Spaarne river. The glass wall can be found along the wall near the stair.
Far from the busy lifestyle in the city, the apartment’s entrance has a semi-enclosed foyer which acts as the threshold between the outside and the inside.
Overall, the design of the Maison-Tour brings out the architectural purism as the result of the simplest spatial compositions.
North Sea is built with an awesome glass wall on almost the whole surface of the house wall. With this beautiful glass wall, everyone can enjoy the adorable landscape around the house from any room inside the house.
The clients wanted to make the space larger enough for a two-bedroom apartment intact with the living room, dining area, kitchen, and bathroom.
For this project, Barker Freeman went with the idea of adding a front extension to the house’s front. The extension houses a stoop, glassed in-entry, and mudroom containing a staircase that will direct you to the living spaces.
Conceived as a contemporary farm in material and steel structure, the building displays colored façade and the aluminum roof which makes a contrast to the rustic environment.
Due to the site, flood regulations expected the building to at least 6 feet off of the ground and, based on co-op regulations, the height must not surpass 28 feet.
The cladding itself can be considered economical, rot-proof, environmentally friendly, and maintenance –free. Overall, the Château de Cartes is a place that emphasizes its poetic nature beyond the domestic scale; light and heavy or solid and fragile.
