架构师提供的文本描述。这座房子建在私人建筑商指定建造的350块地块上，这是Alderman Adri Duivesteijn在阿尔米尔霍默斯区的一项倡议。“Herenhuis”地块需要一层3.5米的超高天花板，既适合居住，也适合工作。

Text description provided by the architects. The house is built on one of the 350 plots designated for construction by private builders, which was an initiative of Alderman Adri Duivesteijn in the Homerus quarter of Almere. The “Herenhuis” plots, where an extra high ceiling clearance of 3.5 m at ground floor level was required, are suitable for both residential and work functions.

任务是实现一个宽敞的家与工作室艺术家/展览空间楼下和住房在顶层。校长罗布·维宁在加拿大住了多年之后，表示希望这所房子不应该是最小的和狭窄的(就像许多荷兰住宅一样)，而是宽敞、开放，给人一种自由和行动的感觉。这是一个梦想的任务，为热爱空间的设计师，这个项目有一个额外的挑战，一个非常有限的预算。

The assignment was to achieve a spacious home with a studio artist / exhibition space downstairs and housing on the top floors. The principal, Rob Veening, after having lived in Canada for many years, expressed the wish that the house should not be minimally sized and narrow (like many Dutch residences), but spacious, open and giving one a sense of freedom and movement. A dream assignment for space loving designers, this project has the added challenge of a very limited budget.

为了节省费用，并使建造如此庞大的数量在财政上可行，采取了若干措施。承包商Postma使房屋(船体)风和水密，之后业主自己完成了：楼梯、绝缘、内饰、内墙、门、设备和外部包层的安装。承包商Postma的优势是，除了他们自己的木材结构车间外，他们还生产自己的窗户和门框。这消除了承包商传统的10%的附加费超过这些项目。它还使制造非常大的窗框和门(2.7米高)成为可能，这是可以实现的，无需任何小题大做。

To save costs, and to make the construction of such a large volume financially viable, a number of measures were taken. The house (hull) was made wind and watertight by the contractor Postma, after which the client himself finished it: stairs, insulation, interior finishes, interior walls, doors, equipment and installation of the external cladding. Contractor Postma’s advantage is that, in addition to their own timber structure workshop, they also produce their own windows and door frames. This eliminates contractors traditional 10% surcharge cost over these items. It also made it possible to make very large window frames and doors (2.7m high), which could be realized without any fuss.

建筑预算中最昂贵的项目之一是立面，这通常是第一个降低野心的项目。这对建筑形象产生了严重的影响。从此产生了激进的建议。

One of the most expensive items in a building budget is the facade which is usually the first item that is reduced in ambition. This always has serious consequence for the architectural image. From there came the radical proposal.

阿尔米尔市非常尊重C2C，甚至起草了“阿尔米尔原则”！这门课程提供了一个机会，让我们看看他们是多么的真心实意，以及他们愿意给私人客户多少自由。从这一点，cc工作室发展了一个想法，利用他们与帐篷行业的联系，从残余物中产生立面。这种极其耐用、不可燃、残留的材料来自聚四氟乙烯(Teflon)涂层玻璃纤维织物，用于食品工业传送带的工业制造。这一特殊材料完全是由德国Kreeld的Verseidag-Indutex公司赞助的.这5米长的卷筒(约1200平方米的毛)被主工作室和cc工作室剪成条状，作为重叠的板条放置在OSB面板的背面。灵活的材料随风移动，创造了生动的形象。在高达7米的侧壁上，由于未来可能的建筑，必须按照规定将建筑的最低高度建立在7米以下，因此不采用任何模式。

The municipality of Almere has C2C in high esteem and even drafted its "Almere Principles"! This course offered a chance to see how much they really meant it, and how much liberty they were willing to give private clients. From this, cc studio developed the idea to produce the facade from residual waste, using their contacts with the tent industry. The extremely durable, non-combustible, residual material comes from rolls of PTFE (Teflon) coated fiberglass fabric, used in the industrial manufacture of conveyors belts for the food industry. This special material was completely sponsored by Verseidag-Indutex from Krefeld, Germany. The 5 m long rolls (about 1200m2 gross) were cut by the principal and cc-studio into strips and placed as overlapping shingles and tacked on a backing of osb panels. The flexible material moves with wind, creating a lively image. In the sidewall up to a height of 7 meters no pattern is applied due to possible future building that must, by regulation, build up to a minimum height of 7 meters.

通过综合设计，也可以省略传统的钢门的稳定性。整个稳定性来自在前面，后方和侧面的钉的Fermacell(纤维板)板，以确保内部的空间关系，vides和分裂的水平被使用。艺术家在楼下的工作室，在花园的正面，视觉上连接着一楼的起居室。因此，工作室有一个额外的窗口，给它更多的光线深入工作室。

Through integrated design it was also possible to omit the traditional steel portal for stability. The entire stability comes from stapled Fermacell (fiberboard) plates in the front, rear and side facades.To ensure the internal spatial relationship vides and split-levels were used. The artist's studio downstairs is, at the side of the garden façade, visually connected with the living room on the first floor trough a vide. The studio therefore has an extra window giving it more light deep into the studio.

在建筑体积的中央，顶部有一个天窗，从视觉上连接了所有上层的楼层。一个连续的内部空间是一个非常愉快的光线质量和方向的结果。另一个好处是，位于顶层街道边的书房/电视房不需要窗户，也不需要窗户来节省费用。由于客厅前部的分层，天花板的高度达到4.5米，给它一个真正的豪宅(“赫伦豪斯”)的质量。木门的尺寸3.5米宽x2.7米高也有助于这种空间感。但是由于这些大尺寸的测量，建筑物的规模很难辨认，只能通过与邻近房屋的传统尺寸进行比较来衡量。

In the middle of the building volume a central vide with at the top a skylight was carved out, visually connecting all the upper floors. A continuous internal space is the result which has a very pleasant light quality and orientation. An additional advantage is that the study / TV room, located at the top level street side, does not need windows nor received them to save costs. Due to the split-level in the front part of the living room, the ceiling height reaches 4.5 m, giving it a real mansion (“herenhuis”) quality. The dimensions of the wooden doors 3.5 m wide x 2.7 m height contributes also to this sense of space. But due to all those large measurements the scale of the building is quite difficult to read and can only be measured by comparing it with the traditional sizes of the neighboring house.

最后，该房屋的能源需求低于法律要求(当时要求的环境保护方案为0.8，实现了0.6)，还具有若干其他可持续性特征，使其有资格获得“绿色”融资(可持续建筑的较低利率)。这是一个特殊的，非常好和密切的客户和设计师之间的合作，充分利用了一些非传统的机会。

Finally, the house has a lower energy requirement than demanded by law (A EPC required then was 0.8, achieved 0.6) and also features a number of other sustainability features which made it eligible for “Green” financing (a lower interest rate for sustainable building). It was a special, very nice and close collaboration between client and designers that made the best use of the somewhat unconventional opportunities.
