Shaped Corner Windows and Sliding Doors to Modern House
This modern house design in Netherlands maximises light and angles with expertly placed shaped corner windows and sliding glass doors. The unique shape of the house provides the chance to live in wider spaces both in the garden or indoors.
Designed by DE Architectekten, the project saw the original house on the plot demolished to make way for the contemporary house with associated outbuildings. The design was created to draw inspiration from the traditional thatched roof villas of the region, creating a modern interpretation of this classical building style.
The slim sliding glass doors from minimal windows were a key feature of the modern approach to the building structure. The floor to ceiling glass and bespoke and complicated corner connections offered transitions to the outside as well as well-placed panoramic views over the surrounding polder landscape.
With glass corners on strategic views, the glass walls to the ground floor create bespoke shaped corner windows with glass to glass joints. The sliding minimal windows panes turn into frameless glass returns on these corners to reduce sightlines and structure in these areas.
