House Van Tongeren-Rijswijk

This typical mid-century house in Rotterdam is extended with a dining room and kitchen. A part of the garage is changed into a playroom and the former kitchen is transformed into a scullery. With more living space on the ground floor and a bigger kitchen the house meets up to the requirements of the family.

​

The vertical stone slab, the slim framing of the glass façade and the cantilever that articulate the roof edge are referring to the modernistic architecture of the mid-century, just as the use of zinc and timber. The kitchen and outer wall, both with a wooden finish, are two parts of a whole. At the height of the worktop a peak through is made to the garden and the playroom.
