Terra Villa / Atlas

Nestled in the dunes between Haarlem and the coastal town of Zandvoort, this 1950s villa in Aerdenhout has undergone a thoughtful renovation and expansion. Like many homes from this era, it had been altered over the years, with various extensions distorting its original form. The design approach focused on restoring the villa's integrity by preserving its original volumetry while removing poorly constructed additions. In their place, a new, carefully designed extension wraps around the house, opening it up to the surrounding garden.
