House for my Niece

House for my Niece

Nestled in the serene landscape of Versmold, the House for my Niece was created as a special sanctuary for reading, reflection, and contemplation. A wooden cabin rests on a foundation of a recycled concrete pillar, emphasizing sustainability and simplicity. Accessible by a ladder, the retreat offers a touch of adventure and seclusion. Inside, a simple yet inviting bench provides the perfect spot to relax and gaze through a window that frames the expansive open fields of corn and grain. The design fosters a deep connection to nature, inspiring creativity and thoughtful moments.
