There are many interesting house projects in Amsterdam and this one is no exception. Egeon Architecten designed this family home on the Rieteiland-Oost island in the IJburg. There are three floors, an open plan living room on the bottom floor, the private areas in the middle and an office space to literally top it all. The modern technologies are applied a lot: a heat pump and low temperature underfloor heating, natural ventilation, high insulation values of roof walls and floor, special heat-resistant glass, a sedum roof, attention to thermal bridging details and orientation. The authors used much wood in architecture and interior design, so the house looks cozy, inviting and warm, and the owners and guests may enjoy stunning lake views.
