Railway House Santpoort by Zecc Architects

Die Zecc Architects haben uns ihr Projekt Railway House Santpoort zukommen lassen. Es handelt sich um ein altes Eisenbahnhaus welches in ein wunderschönes Wohnhaus transformiert wurde:

The project involves the transformation and expansion of a railway cottage next to station Santpoort-Noord. The railway house is on one side bordered by the railway line between Amsterdam and IJmuiden and on the other side by the National Park South Kennemerland. The contrast between the straight metal rails and the softness of the dunes is the basic idea for the metamorphosis of this railway house. The hardness of steel, concrete and glass across waving grass, shells and wood. The picturesque railway house is almost brutally shot through with a large Cortensteel volume.
