House and Office by NU Architectuuratelier

house-office-nu1.jpg

NU Architectuuratelier projected this building with a double function: an advertising agency today with scope for conversion to housing tomorrow. This called for an open, flexible layout.

Set on a white concrete plinth, the black sculpture is reminiscent of a modern villa, yet the north-light roof construction has the character of industrial architecture. Daylight enters through four north-light roofs, creating a diffused lighting mood in the white internal space.
