Two architects and two children wanted a bright, open, and, at the same time, cosy home. Right in the middle of the Dutch hous ing crisis they found a suitable site on a re cently developed triangular island known as Zeeburgereiland. The artificial island, which had been built at the beginning of the twen tieth century just east of Amsterdam’s historic centre, had been used in the past as military grounds and is currently undergoing a trans formation into a new residential district. Above all, it was the minimised building code, which stipulated only the maximum volume and the outer edges of the building, that made the piece of property – conceived for a conven tional row-house – attractive to the architects; they were enamoured of the high degree of freedom this permitted in the design. The al lowable building footprint measures precisely 12 6 ≈ 13 metres. The house has four levels that are linked by single-flight lateral stringer stair cases. The shared living spaces are situated on the ground floor and the11second storey, and the bedrooms are on the first and third storeys. With its extensive glazing the resi dence opens on both sides: toward the north east, facing the street and8 the water, 5 towards the southwest facing a garden. During the summer months the balconies provide natural 7 solar shading and, at the same time, a buffer zone to nearby buildings that are yet to come. For the load-bearing structure the architects devised a wood construction employing crosslaminated timber panels; these are reinforced by means of steel beams and columns. The balconies on the southwest side are also con structed of steel. The decisive factor leading to the use of wood construction was first and foremost the brief construction time and the accompanying cost-effectiveness. The build ing shell of prefabricated wood components 9 weeks. All addi was set up in just under three tional work, such as the installation of win dows and stairs, as well as the entire fitting 7 out, required an additional eight weeks, so that the complete construction phase lasted less than three months. The cross-laminated 5 timber also provides the finished surface of the ceilings and the walls8 and consequently also makes itself felt in the interiors. 7
