Amsterdam studio Woonpioniers has used pure supplies and prefabricated parts all through the Sprout Ruben & Marjolein home, which incorporates an open, greenhouse-like quantity.
Constructed as a prototype for the studio’s Sprout idea, the Netherlands residence was designed to characteristic as many bio-based supplies as potential, together with a picket body construction and hemp insulation.
Designed by Woonpioniers, the house is predicated round a modular kind which is meant to be transportable and adaptable, comprising partially prefabricated models that may be lengthened or shortened in addition to linked and stacked.
For this prototype, which is situated in Olst, Woonpioniers created a small home comprising a two-storey quantity topped with a mono-pitched roof.
Delivered as a design and construct challenge, the house was designed in collaboration with its residents and encompasses a minimal association of areas and a pared again, pure materials palette.
“It was fascinating to go deep about what we thought was actually necessary to us and subsequently how we wished to reside,” Ruben Stellingwerf, who was one of many purchasers, advised Dezeen.

A lot of the residence was clad in silver-toned timber battens, excluding a semi-outdoors residing space and terrace at one finish of the home. Glass infills the timber construction across the high edges of the house to create a clerestory window, whereas glass sliding doorways set in picket frames sit beneath.
Contained in the greenhouse-like quantity, the studio added a eating space designed to be open to the out of doors house, in addition to a extra non-public workplace, which is separated from the eating room by picket panel-lined partitions.

On the opposite wall, a further sliding glass door in a timber body results in a kitchen adorned with picket and yellow-painted joinery and a honeycomb-patterned backsplash.
Past the kitchen, a timber staircase was situated throughout the hall from a downstairs lavatory with picket cabinets.
On the higher stage a terrace space was topped with a low, sloping ceiling. Performing as a mezzanine stage within the greenhouse-like portion of the house, the terrace presents views into the eating space under, in addition to framing views of the sky by a glass roof.
A skylight might be opened up as a part of the roof to supply unrestricted views out from the higher ground.
“Along with the greenhouse, the terrace is our favorite place in the home,” the opposite shopper Marjolein Bartels advised Dezeen. “With a bit of sunshine you may already bathe within the solar there very cosily, and you may as well go stargazing there within the night”.
The terrace is linked to a bed room, the place the ceiling slopes as much as create the sensation of a extra spacious room.
“We constructed the home as a prototype, however for precise purchasers,” the studio defined. “Due to this fact it additionally has extremely personalised interiors and a personalised predominant configuration that places a twist on our versatile idea.”
“After this and one different ‘prototype’, we have developed the detailing of Sprout in such a manner that we’re capable of construct extra customized tasks,” it continued. “We consider Sprout might be the following step in direction of tiny housing in Europe.”
