Unique Properties: On the sloping south flank of the Holterberg, Van der Jeugd Architecten has designed a contemporary villa with very spacious dimensions. Thanks to the carefully designed integration into the beautiful landscape, a materialization that matches the stature of the villa and sophisticated detailing, the design approaches that of a ‘Gezamtkunstwerk’. All the more because the house requires little maintenance and is self-sufficient, you can rightly speak of a ‘sustainable beauty’.
