Architecture
Vacation home in Oostvlieland
Location
Oostvlieland, Netherlands
About the Project
We developed a horizontal composition with several volumes of different heights, creating a dynamic silhouette within the permitted parameters. The architecture combines natural wood and local stone, harmoniously integrating into the island’s natural environment. Spacious planning with open zones compensates for the height limitations.

Solution
We developed a horizontal composition with several volumes of different heights, creating a dynamic silhouette within the permitted parameters. The architecture combines natural wood and local stone, harmoniously integrating into the island’s natural environment. Spacious planning with open zones compensates for the height limitations.
Key Features
Urban planning restrictions — designing within strict height and building size limits of the island. The special regulatory requirements of Vlieland demanded a creative approach to creating spacious housing within permitted parameters, leading to non-standard functional and planning solutions.
Materials
Local natural stone and larch wood create a harmonious composition with the surrounding environment. The choice of materials meets the island's environmental standards and ensures durability in marine climate conditions.
Planning
Open concept with maximum use of horizontal space compensates for height restrictions. Spacious rooms flow seamlessly into one another, creating a sense of space and light within a compact volume.
Landscape
Integration with natural vegetation and preservation of the island's ecosystem became a project priority. The house delicately fits into the existing landscape, minimizing impact on the surrounding environment.
Result
A contemporary rural house that demonstrates the possibilities of creating comfortable housing under strict urban planning restrictions. The architecture emphasizes the beauty of the island’s natural landscape while maintaining a balance between functionality and environmental responsibility.
