该房屋居住在一个新的城市规划区，在那里，客户可以开发自己的房子。它位于步行街附近和东南方向公园附近的一个角落里。尽管规模有限，但情节并不完全建立在此基础上。该地块的四分之一保留在一个小的封闭花园，创造了一个从公共空间到私人空间的软过渡，以及到邻近房屋的距离。选择一个花园也意味着节目集中在地块的一侧。

The house resides in a new urban planning area where clients can develop their own houses. It is on a corner plot adjacent to the park nearby and south-east of pedestrian streets. Despite its limited size, the plot is not entirely built on. One quarter of the plot is reserved for a small enclosed garden, creating a soft transition from public to private space as well as a distance to neighbouring houses. Opting for a garden implied also a concentration of program on one side of the plot.

立方体结构包括三层楼的堆叠，大小相似，但程序不同。往上看，这些职能越来越具有私人性质。底层有办公空间和露台，下一层是厨房、生活和餐饮空间，上层有两间卧室和一间浴室。

The cube-like structure encloses a stacking of three floors, all similar in size but different in program. Going upwards the functions have an increasingly private nature. The ground floor houses the office space and the patio, the next level contains the kitchen, living and dining space, while the upper floor holds two bedrooms and a bathroom.

北面的大空隙是房子的焦点。它连接了两层楼上，并在空间上划分了厨房区域。巨大的窗户在顶部提供了丰富的自然光，以及令人印象深刻和诗意的景观在荷兰的天空。

The large void along the north façade is the focal point in the house. It connects the two upper floors and it spatially zones the kitchen area. The enormous window at the top offers an abundance of natural light as well as an impressive and poetic sight on the Dutch sky.

因为房子坐落在一个角落里，它有一个几乎全方位的方向和存在。没有很多的窗口开口，但那些是大的，面向有趣的风景。在一楼，三扇窗户合在一起，合二为一。它们展示了三个不同的场景，分别代表着房子的一个特定的侧面：东侧的公园，西边的相邻房屋和北面的天空。

Because the house is situated on a corner it has an almost all-round orientation and presence.  There are not many window openings, but the ones that are present are large and oriented towards interesting views. On the first floor the three windows together form a triptych. They show three different scenes each representing a specific side of the house: the park on the east side, the neighboring houses on the west and the sky on the north.

巨大的外墙是有形的和有吸引力的，通过在石膏水平沟槽。沟槽的总长度约为7000米，是手工制作的，用几个模具雕刻成半硬化的石膏。其结果是一件无与伦比的工艺。

The huge exterior walls are made tangible and appealing by means of horizontal grooves in the plaster. The grooves, with a total length of approximately 7000 meters, are handmade and carved into a semi-hardened plaster by using several moulds. The result is an unparalleled piece of craftsmanship.

从建筑角度看，水平凹槽增强了立体感的“全方位”性，连接了几个立面，增强了工程立方体形状的透视效果。

From architectural point the horizontal grooves enhance the ‘all-sidedness’ of the volume, link the several facades and to enhance the perspectival effect of the cube-like shape of the project.

制作这些凹槽的另一个原因是使外观更加触觉和精致。最初，我们计划在所有沟槽之间建造相同距离的立面。然而，在稍后的设计过程中，我们将其改变为不同的距离，以使外观更加触觉和精致。现在有趣的是-我们没想到的是-很多人都在用手触摸墙面。

Another reason for making these grooves was to make the façade more tactile and refined. Initially we planned to construct the façade with the same distance between all the grooves. However later on in the design process we changed this into varying distances in order to make the façade more tactile and refined. A funny thing now – and what we did not expect – is that a lot of people are actually touching the façade with their hands.

条纹屋也是一个非常可持续的房子，在几个能源性能和环境指数计算和标签得分很好。

The Stripe house is also a very sustainable house that scores well in several energy performance and environmental index calculations and labels.
