Unique Properties
The name Villa 22 is inspired by the specific location of the building, which lies on a slope of 22 degrees. By pure coincidence, the house number also happened to be 22. From the outside, the elegant villa looks like an integral part of the hill in which it was designed. Anyone entering the villa will notice that the outdoors is never far away. The surrounding nature is projected inside through the windows, you find yourself indoors yet surrounded by a sense of nature.

Production Technology
During the construction work of the villa, the concrete was cast in place and all pipes and installations are installed in these concrete slabs. The potential of concrete as a construction material and as the proud main bearer of the architectural identity of the building has been pushed to extremes. The protruding balconies are illustrative of the tension that can be achieved with concrete.
Design Challenge
The most challenging was to combine all the elements of the design with the technical limitations of the in place cast concrete. The result is a seamless integration of all the elements connecting with the concrete as well as optimizing the load bearing function of the concrete.
Inspiration
In Villa 22, water serves as the connecting element. Not only did water play a unifying role in the construction process when pouring concrete, it also has a defining function in which the villa is experienced and perceived. This is a villa in which a geometric interplay of lines forms a symbiosis with the water in the swimming pool. This alliance between the hard, unyielding nature of the concrete, the warm appearance of the applied elm wood, and the rippling water is the essence of Villa 22.
Project Duration
The villa lies nestled in a hill in the rural landscape of the green, leafy foreland of the Meuse river in the south of the Netherlands. Design and construction has taken place between 2017 and 2019
Operation Flow
The routing has a logical structure. The transition from one room to another is also accompanied by visual moments that do not demand attention but are there for those who notice. The stairs naturally connect the floors, but from a distance they are also objects with visual expressiveness.
