Villa Trompenberg stands on the outskirts of Hilversum

 

Architectural firm Engel Architecten constructs a brick-built residence in the villa district Trompenberg in Hilversum, Netherlands. Located on a wooded plot on the outskirts of the village, the frame develops alongside the structure of an existing house. The design consists of two elongated volumes that are positioned perpendicular to each other, and remain individually legible due to the height difference in the forms extending steel fascias. The plan shapes a cruciform composition putting up large glass expanses to allow natural light distribution into the living zone. The canopies stretch over the volumes to block the excessive sunlight during the summer months.

elongated bricks accentuate the linear formation

 

The design is defined by strong horizontal lines, accentuated by the canopies and the use of elongated bricks. Large glass surfaces provide a strong connection with the surrounding greenery, without compromising privacy. The color and material palette of the house selected by the design team at Engel Architecten remains limited to ensure that the structure does not overbalance the natural green surroundings. The facade is clad in coral-red masonry with the natural nuance of the brick generating a contemporary design. The recessed horizontal joints accentuate the linear formations of the house, while the slim, black-grey aluminum window frames and steel fascias contribute to the modern appearance.
