架构师提供的文本描述。自我建造者的设计需要建筑和建造方法的简单性，但也创造了在空间和存在上非常具体和明确的可能性。2013年，Anne和Merijn在Nijmegen附近的新开发区Vossenpels买下了一块建筑地皮。在没有建筑工人的帮助下，他们自己盖了一座房子。这花了他们几年，但结果是令人信服的，与非常精确的细节，它是建立到完美的。回顾我们在设计过程中的合作，安妮和梅里金自觉地塑造了自己的生活条件。

Text description provided by the architects. Designing for self-builders requires simplicity in construction and building methods, but also creates possibilities to be very specific and explicit in space and presence. Anne and Merijn bought a building plot in 2013 in the new development area Vossenpels near Nijmegen. Without much help from construction workers, they have built a house themselves. It took them a few years but the result is convincing, with great precision in the details, it is built to perfection. We look back with great pleasure on the collaboration in the design process, Anne and Merijn have self-consciously shaped their own living conditions.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

这主要体现在对话中设计的平面图中。安妮是一位艺术史学家，关于房子的外观和立面构成的谈话来自于马克·罗斯科和约瑟夫·阿尔贝尔斯的作品等艺术参考文献。这所房子坐落在一条古老的乡间公路上的突出位置上，这条公路可以直接从瓦勒河堤坝通往新住宅区。我们认为，宅基地应赋予这一地位特殊的意义，标志着新城区的入口处，体现了农地向住房的过渡。但在个人私宅的环境中，似乎参与了一场自我表达的竞争，特别的意义很容易被夸大。

This is mainly expressed in the floor plans that have been designed in dialogue. Anne is an art historian, the conversation about the appearance of the house and composition of facades arose from art references such as the work of Mark Rothko and Josef Albers. The house is situated on a prominent spot on an old country road that provides direct access to the new residential area from the dike of the river Waal. We decided that the house should give special meaning to this position and mark the entrance of the new urban area and express the transition of farmland to housing. But in an environment of individual private houses, that seem to be involved in a competition of self-expression, special meaning easily becomes an overstatement.

因此，我们必须有一个模棱两可的设计方法，既简约又富有表现力。所以房子变成了一个简单的立方体。比例是改变的除以体积水平，使房子看起来更低，不太重要。超过3.5米，表面由一个黑色的表面组成。暗板确保出现昼夜对比，建筑物的高度似乎在波动。我们显然知道安妮和梅里金会自己粉刷房子。这使得有可能做一些具有表现力的事情。对我们来说，雾蒙蒙的农田河流景观的形象，五彩缤纷的色彩流入彼此，成为一种叙事，代表了以前的风景。

We, therefore, had to have an ambiguous design approach; being minimalistic and expressive simultaneously. So the house became a simple cube. The proportions are changed by dividing the volume horizontal, making the house look lower and less significant. Over 3.5 meters, the façade finish consists of a black surface. The dark plates ensure that there occurs a night and day contrast, the height of the building seems to fluctuate. We obviously knew that Anne and Merijn would paint the house themselves. This made it possible to do something expressive with color. For us, the image of a misty farmland river landscape where colors flow into each other became a narrative representing the former scenery.

所以我们建议用不同的绿色渐变来画50层木覆层。虽然有50种颜色的笑声，但他们同意并完成了大量的工作。这个家庭住宅的底层平面图是一个类似阁楼的平面图，围绕一个开放的楼梯，提供充足的日光空间。该计划的开放性与为不同生活条件设计特定空间相结合。通过外观开口与外部的关系有助于在开放计划中创建单独的空间。一楼有一个非常合理的结构，围绕着中庭，分为三间卧室和一间浴室。

So we proposed to paint 50 layers of wooden cladding in a gradient of different shades of green. There were some laughs about 50 shades but they agreed and accomplished the enormous amount of work themselves. The ground floor plan of this family house is a loft-like floor plan around an open staircase that provides the space with plenty of daylight. Openness in the plan is combined with designing specific spaces for the different living conditions. The relationship with outside through facade openings helps to create individual spaces within the open plan. The first floor has a very logical structure organized around the atrium into three bedrooms and a bathroom.
