De Lange is a home fuul of soul designed by Nico van der Meulen.
“Nico van der Meulen Architects designed this contemporary home, with the most important design objectives being the views over the nature reserve, sun orientation and privacy. In stark contrast to the solid volumes of the street facade, the south glass facade allows for unobstructed views, and sliding glass doors connect the downstairs living and kitchen spaces to the separate outdoor entertainment area. However, in spite of this every room in the house still receives ample north sun. A concrete column and beam extend over the pool to frame the landscape, with the infinity pool reinforcing the idea of the interior space extending out. Materials and colours were chosen to complement the surrounding landscape, and through the use of different materials such as wood, steel and stone, and different variations in the application of these materials, the strong threedimensionality of this building is accentuated and celebrated.” [nicovdmeulen.com]
