Het plankenhuis - Onix Architects

Het plankenhuis in Bosschenhoofd has a simple main volume with a rectangular floor plan and a saddleback roof. The plan is based on the fact that the chimney is a disappearing feature in architecture of this century.  This tempted us to create a house with several chimneys. The plank played an important role as the smallest element in the development of the house. In addition planks were used to make the shuttering into which concrete was poured. This concrete then acquired the imprint of the planks. The same planks were also used for the façade, for the finishing of the roof, and for the interior walls.
