Atlas House . Eindhoven
+ Wienerberger Brick Award 2018
Situated on the edge of a typical suburban development in Eindhoven, this house with a garden blends at first sight into its surroundings, meeting the local building code for white, cubic houses. However, on closer inspection, the house reveals a refined play of mass and material that challenges all conventions. The building rises in a single gesture to the maximum allowed building height; the abrupt subtle curved-roof ending gives the impression of a load being taken off the top of the house, leaving a sturdy figure behind in its new surroundings. Hence its name: Atlas House.
