YTW2 Maastricht

This building, located in a new housing estate, is designed on a screen of nine squares, 5x5 metres each. The ground level of this house contains the parent's bedroom. The other level, divided over three squares at street side, contains the children's space. Divided over the same zone, the basement accommodates several storage rooms and one room which is only accessible by reaching the core of the house. This room is lit by the submerged patio, connected with the surrounding garden through a basin and a cascade. The inner and outer spaces provide several forms of seclusion, from the open garden surrounded only by a few concrete plates, to the completely hidden patio beneath the cascade. This is designed to guarantee privacy for it's habitants; the façades do not show it's floor plan.
