The owners wanted a place with concrete walls and floors, lots of glass and the feeling of a holiday destination.

A long concrete wall organises the structure of the pool house.  Along that wall is a rectangular landscape with a garage, wellness rooms, a living space with kitchen, the pool and terrace. Because of the difference of terrain, the terrace with the pool is on a lower level than the surrounding spaces.

Giving the high-end fast cars in the garage the space they require, the car-room has been developed into a luxurious versatile living space (party, garage, hobby room,…). The garage has a large window, giving you a glimpse of the cars from the pool  through the living space.  The original garage doors are designed like a patchwork of wood lines which refer to an abstract plan of a city (and is an enlarged fragment of a used surface to saw natural stone).

When all the windows have been slid open, the living space feels like a covered terrace with an impressive fireplace. The living space is a complete open floor plan and has a visual connection with the garage through a courtyard, and a panoramic view to the concrete terrace with the endless pool.

The balance between the materialisation and the proportion of the volumes results in a strong architectural setting. The combination of the soft-textured concrete walls, high polished aluminium frames and the large glass facades gives the place a very strong, unique character.

When the sun warms up the walls, the water of the endless pool flows gently and all the sliding windows are open, you find yourself believing you are in a warm far-away exotic country, relaxing and soaking up the holiday-feeling.
