VVD II

The huge rectangular living room oozes calm and understatement with its’ pale poplar wide board floor, uniformly tall wall cupboards and tall deep windows onto the garden. The carefully selected objects create a subtle contemporary tension. The courtyard provides light for the hall, the kitchen and the reception room, which also doubles up as dining room. The original staircase was scoured, sanded and simplified. The essential activities of washing and cooking are celebrated with a monolithic white marble bath tub and an enormous black cooker of La Cornue, reminiscent of 19th century steamy Flemish country kitchens. The attention to detail and bespoke doorhandles, lightfittings and hinges that are not instantly contemporary but have themselves a place in history is now so engrained in the work of VVD that it can no longer be seen as a separate language. The rigour of the design in combination with the sensual language is what forms the essence and success of the architecture. 巨大的长方形客厅用它的“白杨树宽板地板，均匀的高墙柜和高深窗”向花园发出平静和不足的声明。精心挑选的物体产生了微妙的当代张力。庭院为大厅、厨房和接待室提供了光线，这也是餐厅的两倍。原来的楼梯被冲刷掉了，打磨和简化。用单片白大理石浴缸和巨大的拉角黑色炊具来庆祝洗涤和烹调的基本活动，让人想起19世纪Steamy佛兰德国家厨房。对细节和定制门把手的关注，在VVD的作品中，没有即时当代但具有自己的历史地位的灯具和铰链现在被雕刻在VVD的作品中，以至于不能再被看作是一种单独的语言。与感官语言相结合的设计的严格性是建筑的本质和成功的形式。
