Villa K: A Masterpiece of Sustainable Beauty

Architect Ruud van der Koelen's Award-Winning Residential Project

The project, which began in 2016 and was completed in 2020, is the result of meticulous planning and execution. The design team, led by architects Ruud van der Koelen and Paul van der Jeugd, has created a residential project that stands out for its holistic qualities, offering residents a daily experience of coherence and beauty.

Villa K is not just a house, but a 'Gesamtkunstwerk', a total work of art. Its unique properties lie in its materialization, which matches the stature of the villa, and its sophisticated detailing. The design is characterized by high-tech sustainability features, a glass mosaic facade, and sliding doors with frame sashes of 5 meters (triple glassed). The villa is self-sufficient, requiring little maintenance, making it a true embodiment of sustainable beauty.

The villa's expansive dimensions, with a building volume of 6,500 m3 and a gross floor area of 1,850 m2, are testament to the project's grandeur. Yet, despite its size, the villa blends harmoniously into the beautiful landscape, thanks to the carefully designed integration.

The design's excellence has not gone unnoticed. Villa K was awarded Silver in the A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award in 2021. The award recognizes top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. Villa K, admired for its strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, certainly fits this description.

In conclusion, Villa K is more than just a residential project. It is a testament to the power of design to create sustainable beauty, to integrate harmoniously into the landscape, and to provide a living experience that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the soul. It is a project that truly embodies the ethos of its architect, Ruud van der Koelen: "Happiness cannot be designed, but carefully developed architecture can condition it."
