AB House – the name refers to the client’s initials – was built in the 1970s. It is embedded in a landscape surrounded by dikes, situated between Amsterdam and Alkmaar on a property surrounded by water and abundant green. A young family with two children purchased it. They were delighted about the blissful site, but desired more space inside the house. Space Encounters expanded the volume to the permitted limit and adapted the single family house to the requirements of contemporary living.
