Wall House II, Experimental residence in Tynaarlo, Netherlands.
Description
Wall House II is a residential building in Tynaarlo centered around a large gray wall that defines its spatial organization. Multiple living areas branch off from this core and are connected by a spiral staircase and passageways that create an unusual interior layout.
History
The building was originally designed in 1973 for Connecticut but remained unrealized for many years. A Dutch development company finally built it in 2001, long after the architect had passed away.
Culture
The spaces around the central wall create a series of distinct areas that feel separate yet remain connected through the design. This arrangement encourages people to move and discover new perspectives as they walk from one section to another.
Practical
The building contains distinct zones for residential use, public events, and artist residencies focused on architectural exploration. Plan time to move through the connected spaces and understand how the interior layout creates different experiences in each area.
Did you know?
The building employs glass sections strategically throughout the design to create the illusion that separate volumes are distinct and isolated. This clever use of transparent barriers makes connected spaces feel independent while they remain physically linked.
