Black Gemstone
Set in the wooded surroundings of Hollandsche Rading in the Dutch province of Utrecht, Black Gemstone was designed by MONK Architecten BNA as a dark, folded volume among the trees. The facades and roof planes flow visually into one another, giving the house the character of a black gemstone.
Behind this form is a sustainability strategy centered on extensive timber construction, reduced energy demand, renewable energy generation, and durable materials that can be maintained selectively.

Sustainability is integrated into the design rather than treated as a separate technical addition. The structure, building envelope, interior, and building services were approached as a single system, with each layer contributing to redu... More

Bus Box
In 2014, Studio Selva was asked to design a new façade for a chauffeur’s break room at Amsterdam Sloterdijk Station.
We decided to have the original exterior walls painted black and fitted with a lamellae façade of high-performance modified timber.

A rhythmical pattern of vertical laths with minimalist detail gave the building a solid, yet graceful presence. We designed the lamellae with a slight fanning out to create soft corners. To add more sophistication to a structure set under the gray concrete of the railway station, we applied a custom-made semi-transparent shimmering coating to the wood.

Biobased Barn House
The Biobased Barn House is located in the nature reserve 'Esvelderbeek' and therefore had to comply with strict regulations. The zoning plan prescribed a traditional form and responsible choice of materials. The clients went one step further; it was their express wish to build a simple, light and spacious house with natural biobased materials. The house takes its shape from the 'Hallenhuis', an authentic Veluwe farmhouse that used to be common in the area. The project consists of 1 volume with various functions such as living, storage and garage. The construction has the original Hallenhuis principle with the anchor-beam trusses as its basis. These trusses, made of European glued spruce, are visible in the interior wherever possible.
