‘house riel estate’ by dutch firm joris verhoeven architecture is located in a recent residential development near the town of tilburg. the structure is a relatively simple brick form, designed to fit within the archetypal styles an materials of the rural village and surrounding countryside. it is composed of a single main building, with a gabled roof, hand-molded brick, and heavy oak doors.

path to informal back entrance 

 

 

 

in brabant, the dwelling’s provincial home, it is customary for residents to enter through the back door. inside, a separation splits the kitchen and living room; a similar partition is again mirrored between the formal (front) and informal (rear) entrances. the house itself rises gently, as does the roof, and ensures a clear relationship between the first and second floors.
