Villa +, detached house, steel frame construction and wooden cladding. The villa is located in the middle of an island in the IJ lake next to Amsterdam. The living and dining area on the ground floor are surrounded by glass. The private garden and living room are located slightly deeper. The four bedrooms and study room on the first floor have shutters; the façade is therefore completely close. It is a "heavy" block on the transparent ground floor; it provides more shelter and privacy despite the transparence facades.
