UNStudio, Christian Richters · Water Villas

Christian Richters

The 48 water villas are situated in an experimentally developed housing area at the periphery of Almere. The concept for the water villas was about creating a living environment with a maximal flexibility to meet individual needs. Each villa consists of a basic package, which can be extended and elaborated depending on personal preferences and lifestyle of the client. The basic package consists of 2 concrete modules of 6 meters in the width, 10 meters in the depth and 3 meters in the height. The first floor is shifted to obtain a roof balcony. An optional package is developed to extend the basic housing type according to individual needs. It offers the possibility to elaborate and increase its volumetric potential.
