Orchard Villa

The site is organised as a sequence of garden types—field, meadow, orchard and hedgerow—each marking a quiet transition across the plot. Beyond a screen of mature trees, the barn's original form has been reworked into a single meandering volume that threads through the landscape.

Light and movement guided the design: a winter garden captures the morning sun and connects directly to the kitchen, while a veranda widens the living space for use throughout the year. Solar panels are integrated into the roof plane facing the meadow.

Black timber cladding and a low, elongated silhouette allow the house to sit quietly among the trees, with carefully framed views revealing the flatness of the polder and glimpses of the dunes beyond.
