Here’s another house by Rotterdam studio Pasel Kuenzel Architects located on a former industrial site in Leiden, Netherlands as part of their series of eleven town houses for the area.
Called V36K08/09, the zinc-clad building comprises two separate dwellings for a mother and son, each with its own patio.
A wooden gate encloses leads directly onto a patio, which acts as the entrance area for the house.
On the upper part of the building, floor to ceiling windows in the living spaces look out onto a terrace.
This series of houses is part of an urban masterplan by Dutch architects MVRDV (See our previous stories on homes by Pasel Kuenzel Architects here and here).

V36K08/09 – URBAN DIVA
On a former industrial site close to the historical heart of the renowned Dutch university city of Leiden, emerges one of the biggest urban developments of private-collective dwellings in the Netherlands.
In their series of eleven town houses, Rotterdam based architects pasel.künzel architects present yet another exceptional residence.
V36K08/09 is the front end of a terrace that is built on a collective parking garage.
The residence comprises two separate dwellings for mother and son, including two spacious and hidden patios.
The dark pre-patinated zinc façade with its subtle disposition of seams gives the building a calm but yet spectacular appearance.

Looking from the outside, the house appears rather compact and closed – a fortress in the urban tissue.

Only by entering the estate through the heavy wooden gate, one gets into an utterly different inner world – an oasis of tranquillity, a living space that is generous and open, where inside and outside merge into each other.
