Robust houseboat situated on the outskirts of Amsterdam. The magnificent surroundings have altered little over time. The horizon was always like this. Shelter against the elements sun, wind, rain is found in the sober metal panel and wooden elements. This creates a sensation of solidity, while the large floor- to- ceiling glass panels permit a close relationship with the surroundings. The existing ground level has been brought to live; clearly visible and accessible. The raised ground level is filled with an open, light, spatial content to interact with and merge with its surroundings. Right function on the right spot.
