In an effort to avoid visual contact with adjacent houses, the wood home by Amsterdam architects Rocha Tombal, has different shaped openings, windows, skylights and dormers that offer interesting ways to bring daylight in without directly facing nearby structures.<br /><br />House Bierings<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">As described by the Amsterdam architecture firm, Rocha Tombal Architecten:</span></span><br />From a basic form, defined by the municipal urban plan, sculptural “eyes” emerge with direct views to the varied countryside landscape. The form and orientation of the building avoid visual contact with the adjacent houses: at the ground floor the angled ceiling of the kitchen accentuates the intensive contact with the garden. On the first floor, the different shaped openings in the roof and façade offer, like “fingers of light”, varied daylight experiences.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC5hxbGgSn_aptjkCT4jmwWaeBc-_VdeiMNtr8QS5Jw4i9qLncyDt3W3SXRMZvRPEOCx6cIU6JLjrQ3ZJj4KAbBMVN1l_3wAo2rt0ctUwG5NvF5exHWEMj4bFo5LDeW67xQyzyX6bihSsa/s1600/concept.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476508050636368706" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC5hxbGgSn_aptjkCT4jmwWaeBc-_VdeiMNtr8QS5Jw4i9qLncyDt3W3SXRMZvRPEOCx6cIU6JLjrQ3ZJj4KAbBMVN1l_3wAo2rt0ctUwG5NvF5exHWEMj4bFo5LDeW67xQyzyX6bihSsa/s400/concept.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;

After experiencing the entrance area and passing the gigantic pivoted door, the visitor arrives at the “heart of the house”, the kitchen.

Even <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/">Treehugger</a> author Lloyd Alter smartly suggested that the beams should have been reappropriated 'from a dismantled highway'.<br /><br />Regardless of its potentially negative effect on the environment, it's certainly has an aesthetically positive effect on me (although I do wonder who is gonna clean those two swimming pools and all those windows).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg1DSWm4tQxpK1qte2g5tDbh5JLI6FRR9GEWV_fJywKceaPIWuFY07iZpcR6BRLyO9Ljj4uiSMWRa0BuXqvV1_c2XxKf3d5V1_8oofLyEIOYtSk1tzsPvRdSi6oFbgWMfaMWOKCA37B3eF/s1600-h/Picture+1.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315741185674766530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg1DSWm4tQxpK1qte2g5tDbh5JLI6FRR9GEWV_fJywKceaPIWuFY07iZpcR6BRLyO9Ljj4uiSMWRa0BuXqvV1_c2XxKf3d5V1_8oofLyEIOYtSk1tzsPvRdSi6oFbgWMfaMWOKCA37B3eF/s400/Picture+1.png" style="cursor: pointer;
