House S is situated along the Asterdplas in Breda´s Haagse Beemden residential district. The living area is raised above the adjacent ground level, maximising the orientation on the nature-rich surroundings. Large terraces directly bordering the most important living quarters, and large window openings give the house a light and transparent character. In contrast, the bedroom and workroom are half-submerged in the ground and are fitted with a horizontal band window, allowing one to survey the beautiful surroundings from the cellar. This also allows for sufficient daylight to enter this workroom.
