Created by Hans van Heeswijk, Rieteiland House is the Dutch architects design for his "dream home." Cubic and linear, this glass-adorned abode leaves little to the imagination due to its open concept interior that is bathed with natural light.
With a rear that faces a beautiful lakeside setting, this minimalist design is simplistic in appearance but conceptually complex. Clad in a series of glazed aluminum panels, this home features an industrial facade that reveals little in comparison to its opposing side. The home is three storeys and features a slew of technological innovations that make it a home to remember. The Rieteiland House, located in Amsterdam, fuses a contemporary city aesthetic with a nature-infused backdrop.
