Villa in the dunes
Hoek van Holland

A villa for an art-loving couple has been completed at the edge of the dunes of Hook of Holland.

The entrance level is situated in the dunes as a bunker and consists of a guesthouse, besides the entrance functions.

The piano nobile, the residents’ daily domain, is organized around a patio.

The living on the front gives access to a dunegarden through a terrace.

On the other side the kitchen hovers above the ground.

On top of this all, the master bedroom.

An exterior staircase leads to a roof terrace and provides a panorama on the surrounding dune landscape and its bunkers. The sea lures at the horizon.
