Designed by LMNL office [for architecture and landscape], a Dutch studio specialising in architecture using natural and alternative building materials, Veldhuis draws on the archetypal Dutch barn typology: the design reinterprets familiar forms and materials — brick walls and a thatched roof — to meet the needs of modern family life. Loes van Duijvendijk The project reflects LMNL’s ongoing pursuit of low-carbon, bio-based construction methods that promote comfort through material performance rather than technology.

Farmhouse using a CLT construction. A farmhouse for a deer farm is realized in 147 days with a wood construction. The design of a no-nonsense house with lots of natural light is in stark contrast to the existing dark farmhouse. Koen Broos The house is built on a narrow and longitudinal footprint to get plenty of light in, and even more important, to create as many possible views to the farm yard. The timber construction material is kept visible throughout the whole interior, while applying the same wood to all the custom designed fixed furniture. Koen Broos Situated in a typical agricultural area, lies a large authentic ‘long-facade’ farmhouse, dating back from the late 19th century. The client wishes to convert it... More

Elegantly placed and intertwined with the sloping terrain, the two villas on Flesaasveien have a simple yet striking volume. The two buildings are positioned next to an existing house in a residential neighbourhood to the north of Oslo, Norway. The surrounding area is characterised by its green and open spaces.

A combination of curves and straight lines in the project gives a refreshing but modern addition. The exterior is clad in untreated heartwood of pine, outer corners rounded to provide a dynamic yet soft and fluid appearance. Einar Aslaksen Einar Aslaksen Fitting two addit... More

  Dikes protect the Dutch country side from flooding. On top of a dike a little house was built in the 1950s. It fell into disrepair and was sold. The new owners asked Mirck Architecture to design a new dike house, using the beautiful views, daylight, and wood. Mirck proposes to open out the living space to the north, by cracking the dike house volume away from the dike, into the polder landscape. Katja Effting   The outer corner of the crack is fully glazed and brings in plenty of daylight into the large open space. The facades are also open to the best views in the north. The combination of the abundant natural light and the many views, creates a room-in-a-view: the sensation of being part of the landscape. Katja Efft... More
