House IJburg. Amsterdam. Marc Koehler Architects

" The house is located on a small plot in IJburg; a suburb of Amsterdam. Designed as a vertical garden giving space to flora and fauna to grow in a densely urbanised area.

House IJburg是由Marc Koehler设计的，位于阿姆斯特丹市郊IJburg。

这栋住宅被设计成一座垂直花园，为植物及动物在密集的城市区中生存提供了场所。

Closed private spaces contrast with open collective spaces, that seem to have been ‘carved out' from the solid volume as a continuous transparent void.

In this way the interior space is visually and physically connected to the street, the garden and roof terraces. Outdoor- and indoor spaces become one and natural daylight flows into the interior. 3 bedrooms, a small bathroom, WC and a ‘multipurpose hall' are situated on the ground floor whereas the first floor remains completely open for living, cooking and eating, flooded with daylight.

The hall is much more than an entry zone. It also functions as an artist studio, work desk, laundrette and playground. The façade contains specific brick detailing inspired by techniques from the famous Amsterdamse School style from the 1920's."
