| Architecture |
The Dutch wood merchant Kees Bruynzeel was not only a lover of wood, but also of the sea and sailing ships. With this house he created a monument to sailing.
It has been depicted in several journals and other publications.
The hyperbolic paraboloid of the roof calls to mind an enormous sun sail on a yacht. It is lined with precious yellow wood. The roof never touches the walls directly but rests on windows.
The magnificent ceiling spans the open plan upper floor.
At its highest point the ceiling of the salon is 6 m high.
The Eastern and Southern sides have large panorama windows up to the ceiling.
The large overhangs of the roof keep the house cool in hot summers.
The construction of this jewel cost ten times more than that of a normal house. The materials used are of unsurpassed quality: Teak, yellow wood, copper, glass and a slim face brick that was commissioned and specially made for this house.
The quality of workmanship is equally stunning. The face brick walls were build with a slight slope of 3 degrees, which is a costly procedure but so much more elegant. The bedrooms have moulded plaster ceilings. Throughout the house one finds features that are admired by every architect.
A well established garden with many indigenous trees and other plants attracts many birds. |
