The Overgooi project concerns a villa-like residential building with five specific accommodations commissioned by the Villa Van Vijven (Villa For Five) Association that consists of five private clients.
The opportunity arose to develop five residential units on a 5000 m2 lot – with the restriction that they had to look like a single villa.
Based on this fact and on various qualities of the environment we implemented a series of transformations on the building volume. On the basis of a number of workshops with the residents this resulted in five specific accommodations, each with its very own character.
Each storey has been rotated a quarter turn in relation to the others, giving the residences exceptional orientation, incidence of sunlight and spatiousness. Subsequently, the entire building was raised to give each residence a second floor view – over the dike – of the Gooimeer.

The design for the ‘Huis te Wiel’ estate is a careful composite of the existing farm, two new houses and an annex.
By adding the new buildings, we created a courtyard. The existing farm, a national monument, has preserved its main building status and the hierarchy is strengthened as the new buildings are constructed like this farm: its slanted roof and the different directions of the ridges of the front of the house and of the attached barn are copied in the new buildings.
The buildings’ unity and coherence are increased by adding structuralizing elements – duckboards and platforms – that mark the transition between the collective and the private. The decoration of the yard includes elements – a hedge, formal beds of plants – that refer to the location’s past. The master plan design echoes the various strata of the country estate’s rich history.
The materialization of new buildings refers to an agricultural past, the yard and the composition refer to the history of ‘Huis te Wiel’.
Villa Werkhoven
Type: Dwelling Location: Werkhoven Client: G. Van Echtelt Team: Michel Schreinemachers with Joost Lemmens, Wout Smits, Vincent Heck, Shyla Rietveld, Patrick Maisano, Floris de Ridder Collaborator / associate: JMA, Amsterdam Floor area / size: 200 sqm Cost: Euro 255.000,00 Contractor: Timmer- en aannemersbedrijf J.H. de Vries Build engineer: Pieters Bouwtechniek Photographer: Jeroen Musch Start building: May 2004 Completion: December 2005 Status: Completed
The wish of the client was to create a house which draws on the ideals associated with the traditional farmhouse.
The volume is created through a number of subtle manipulations such as the vertical and horizontal displacement of the main elements along a sort of a fault-line: this shift reinforces the perspective of the surrounding landscape, optimising the view of the vast horizon. The floor plan has been organized in such a way that it achieves a continuity between the different functions involved with a residential program, while separating service areas such as the main entranceway, bath and pantry.
The main area is built using traditional details. Relying on knowledgeable specialists, we were able to construct the house using bricks and straw. The bigger window openings cut though this volume, open up the interior and connect it to the landscape.
