Dutch interior designer Niels Maier take us to the South of the Netherlands, to explore their geometric, forest-inspired Oblique House. 

Designed by Niels Maier in collaboration with architect RUIMTEMAKERS, the Oblique House lies on the outskirts of Beek; a small city in the southeastern Netherlands. Emerging from its lush garden surrounds, the Oblique House is a modernist spectacle, composed of three boxes. With the goal to create a minimal, warm and luxurious abode, Niels Maier and RUIMTEMAKERS have set a precedent for a new-age Dutch abode.

The Oblique House is based on three stacked volumes, conceived by building architect RUIMTEMAKERS, to reflect three different functions in the home. The primary volume on the ground floor composes of the open plan living, dining and kitchen area, as well as the mastersuite, located in the anthracite grey brick structure.

The second volume, made from dutch accoyo wood, includes the ‘shadow kitchen’, storage areas, laundry and ironing room. The project takes its name from the third volume, made from Corian detailed with oblique lines, conceptualised by Niels Maier . This upper level houses the kids’ two bedrooms and a junior bathroom. “The oblique lines reflect the family nest, creating a unique, timeless appearance,” Niels Maier says. “Together, the well-chosen materials, patterns and textures create an attractive building.”
