Nested on an island near Amsterdam, the Netherlands, this gorgeously modern Kavel Villa
was intentionally built of a diamond shaped plot of land to take
advantage of the surroundings. The island is relatively new and it will
accommodate several other residential projects in the future. It’s an
oasis of tranquility just minutes away from the city centre. Kavel
occupies the most exceptional spot, overlooking the lake and the city’s
skyline. Constructed by Studioninedots,
the villa boasts an abstract geometric shape, mainly following the form
of the site. The building itself surprises the viewer with its
versatile appearance. It’s all a matter of perception and… angles.
Sometimes it looks sleek and edgy, sometimes massive and robust. 
“By
introducing a spectacular concrete structure we made it possible to
create a ground floor plan with maximum transparency, without any
columns. This transparency increases the interaction with nature and the
relationship between inside and outside. On the south side the glass
facade is bended inward, creating an intimate and covered terrace. The
contrast between the concrete facades and the folding glass reflect the
changes of the nature around.” Interior of the house opens entirely
to the landscape. The house is well-lit and properly ventilated. Rooms
come with astounding views, therefore each sunset is a wonderful and
crisp experience. Glossy and contemporary decorated, the interior of
Kavel Villa enhances the feeling of comfort and elegance. Metallic
shutters with abstract shapes adorn the first floor’s windows. They can
be fully opened, allowing light inside or add a sense of privacy, when
needed. [Photo credit: Peter Cuypers]
