Jutting out further than the lower levels, the top floor of this Dutch house almost floats above the property, making it appear like a stack of boxes. Glass, concrete and wood maintain a neutral palette that lets nature perform a starring role. Gray wood floors have been used throughout the house to enhance the raw, yet intimate atmosphere.

Situated on a small plot of land, the house packs in a vast open-plan living area and three bedrooms in a layout permitting light to penetrate the interiors. The open-plan ground floor leads to the bedrooms above, accessed by the raw concrete staircase. The wood flooring, kitchen cabinetry, and big glass windows allows nature to carry itself throughout the interior.

The minimal color palette used in the interior reflects the home’s reverence for nature and its elements. The fireplace is cast with the same concrete as the staircase, adding a visual texture that contrasts with the gray Oak flooring and Walnut cabinetry.
