Bungalow Refurbishment
2020 - present
Status: Ongoing
Location: Amstelveen (NL)
Client: Private
Design team: Alexander Petrounine
Original architect: Jon Webbers (1971)
Size: 310 m2
Program: Refurbishment and extension
A typical 1970s bungalow – one storey, compact, flat roof,
the original brickwork plastered, with a low ceiling, but with a good structure
and large openings towards the garden. The clients aim was to transform the
bungalow into a sustainable and life-proof home.
The program of the bungalow is
divided into a day and a night program. The day program is oriented around the
lush green patio, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors offering unobstructed
views. From the patio the open kitchen, the dining room and the living room
unfold into one continuous living room – blurring the boundaries between inside
and outside. The night program is located along the northern edge of the plot.
The master bedroom is extended towards the garden with a walk-in closet and a
bathroom, with a glimpse of the morning sun. The second bedroom, with its own
bathroom and patio, is oriented to the street. To guarantee privacy from the
street, the wooden harmonica facade functions as a filter between private and
public.
