denieuwegeneratie is a small Amsterdam-based design firm with three young designers. They designed this partially buried home, built into the landscape of a nature reserve in The Netherlands. It emerges from the hill on two sides with large glass fronts framed in lark wood. Dutch Mountain was embedded into the artificial hill to both camouflage and act as thermal insulation for the house.
The rectangular house is, for the most part, a large open space. The interior spaces are built out of wooden structures that will make it easy for the family to make changes to in the future if need be.
A private and eco-friendly home that they’ve personalized to make their own sounds like the perfect mixture in this unique space.
This house has some of the coolest features I’ve ever seen, like the Jaguar hanging vertically on the wall. Yes, a real car on the wall being used as a bookshelf/cabinet – genius!
Did you notice the teapot chandelier and stairs made of skateboard decks?

Wow, love it for sure. But the first thing that came to my mind was that it is a Feng Shui NIGHTMARE. hanging cars about to fall over. Scateboards as steps. What looks like a glass section of flooring. I always walk around that kind of thing. But perhaps this is a design for risk takers and that makes a bold statement of the owners. Maybe they are X-Game fans. Some people don’t need tranquility in their abode. Shows my age.

At last! Someone has finally found a purpose for a Jaguar.

Wow, that is very cool, and the kids have a built in sledding hill right in their backyard. I wonder if they strengthened the skateboards in any way. Those usually flex quite a bit when you step on them.

It looks expensive. What was the approximate ‘build’ cost?
