The site, measuring about 20 by 20 m, is located in a residential neighbourhood between two similar lots. At the back it borders on a protected dune landscape. In order to achieve the desired living area, the entire buildable area was used, and the traffic space was integrated in the living space in the interior. Using the maximum building envelope meant only narrow strips were left all around the house as a garden. The architects therefore gave the house terraces on the first floor and the roof.

The ground floor, where the children’s bedrooms are now located, can eventually serve as an office or studio. An outside staircase provides separate access. The outer walls parallel to the street are filled in with glass and timber cladding. This opens the house to the street and the dune landscape. The closed, perforated side walls provides privacy from the neighbours.

Large banks of windows in the rear wall afford a view of the dune landscape. Throughout the house, the same materials and details were used in order to achieve continuity. For instance, the balustrades of the inside and outside staircase are identical. The area of the living space has been maximized by avoiding corridors; the living level is divided into several zones.
