What looks on the outside, isn’t what happens on the inside. The interior of this old pool house nearby the coastline stands in contrast with its Dutch neo-renaissance exterior. By stripping the apartment to its bare walls and molding the whole interior, the space was reconfigured into a unique disposition.

Because the variety in material choice was kept to a minimum, the different rooms seem to flow in one another gaining importance only by the intensity of the ambient light which can be adapted to the client’s mood through a linked video and lighting system.

One level has been entirely conceived in wood while the other, with its hollowed out rooms and cells, has been shaped in PU foam before receiving a polyurethan-coating making the whole both accessible for winter as for summer use.
