“Villa Panorama”: Environmentally Friendly & Environmentally Flattering

Inspired by the broad horizontal lines of the Dutch landscape, Björn van Rheenen of Sponge Architects, has used these lines to create “Villa Panorama” which blends seamlessly into the environment.

Featuring a large glass façade and long small pond that cleverly appears to flow from the garden into the spacious living area, there is also a flat roof with a “lawn” atop, thus ensuring indoors and outdoors are perfectly merged.

Sustainability was a very important issue in the design process, meaning that environmentally-conscious techniques are highly evident in “Villa Panorama”

“Villa Panorama” is a project of Sponge Architects Amsterdam in cooperation with Scope Bouwmanagement BV., Almere.
