Rotterdam-based architecture practice Orange Architects has completed a holiday home with an irregular form that creates its angular roof and terrace space in front of the house.

The project, named Holiday Home, is located on a beautiful island of Texel, only a ten-minute walk from the North Sea in the Netherlands. 

Holiday Home was designed as different than other residential villas. Its light-filled interiors, high-ceiling, flexible spaces provides several options that will accommodate other changes in time.

The house, covering a total of 70-square-metre area, presents a sculptural interior, while its exterior is covered by the black wooden shell, creating a strong contrast between the warm inside and the bold outside.

This home represents a different approach to space, as the architects explain. “By day, during a holiday, people tend to spend more time together and there’s less need for private spaces,” said Orange Architects. 

For this reason the studio optimized the house by maximizing all spaces inside, allowing most of them to accommodate two functions. During the day the house transforms into an open, fluid space.

Inside, spaces are extended even further by using large windows and opened doors, into the surroundings.
