‘SH house’ by baksvanwengerden, bentveld, the netherlands image © yvonne brandwijk, kaj van geel all images courtesy of baksvanwengerden AMSTERDAM-BASED PRACTICE BAKSVANWENGERDEN HAS JUST
COMPLETED THE ‘SH HOUSE’, an enlargement to an existing home in a village between haarlem and the north sea coast in bentveld, the netherlands. constructed in 1932, the masonry exterior is
topped with a gable roof with overhanging eaves. appearing to continue the slope of the pitched roof, the angled sidewalls of the concrete intervention form a triangular section when viewed
from the yard. the original interior was very dark and enclosed due to a compartmental organization which separated functions. removal of the internal partitions created an open floor plan
which directs views towards the garden, framed by the white walls of the porch at the rear of the dwelling. the straight run stairway acts as a backbone to the living arrangement, connecting
the ground level to the first floor and attic. rear elevation frames views to the garden image © yvonne brandwijk, kaj van geel concrete intervention attaches to the masonry exterior dating
