Dutch architecture studio Paul de Ruiter Architects have designed Villa V, a single family house in Park Brederode, Bloemendaal, The Netherlands. The area is part of a protected dune landscape, and the architects wanted to have a minimal intervention in the surrounding nature, creating a sustainable villa.
The house is placed on the slope of a hill. The ground floor and first floor's façades are composed of large sliding glass components and oak wood, creating a fluid connection between the exterior and interior. The remaining façades are comprised of coloured wood. A skylight at the heart of the residence allows for generous daylight to pour into all the interior spaces.
Paul de Ruiter Architects: Villa V
Location: Park Brederode, Bloemendaal, The Netherlands
Architects: Paul de Ruiter Architects — Paul de Ruiter (Project architect), Chris Collaris (Project leader)
Client: Private
Structural engineer: Quinten R. Wildeboer
Contractor: Scholz Groep, IJmuiden
Interior architect: i29 interior architects
Landscape architect: Kamsteeg Tuinen
Photography: Tim van de Velde
Gross area: 489 square metres (including a basement of 154 square metres)
Completion: November 2011
The architects designed a house with an amazing energy efficiency in this project, designing a structure with remarkable insulation. The building features geothermal energy storage, a heat pump and solar collectors on the moss-covered roof.
All the elements in the interiors — designed by i29 — elements, from walls to cupboards in the children’s rooms and the fireplace, are made of veneered plywood. "The wood used at the entrance and the garage has a special origin," state the architects. "It comes from an old ship that was found at a demolition company in North Brabant. It was bought in its entirety and used in the building."

Hello,
How are you all? today is all about concrete! personally I have a huge crush on concrete! it's beautiful! I love the structure, colours, and it gives that industrial look to your interior.
The industrial look in interior design has been around for a while now and whilst we aren’t all lucky enough to live in an old converted warehouse that is full with authentic industrial elements, there are ways to give our homes a distinctly urban feel.
One of the easiest ways to achieve an industrial look is to use industrial materials like - Concrete. In recent months I have witnessed a huge rise in the use of concrete in interior design. Many designers are now using concrete in unexpected and unusual ways.
Have a look ....
