This project designed by JUMA architects, mainly aimed at the realization of a new kitchen and pantry, is a more radical alteration than one might suspect at first glance. The entire floor-covering parquet was taken out since the existing pipes of this 80s house were in urgent need of replacement. The windows were replaced by and more slender and more efficient joinery. In several places, the existing window openings were made larger, so that they would come down to the floor. In addition to adding light and views, this also results in a more contemporary look.

JUMA architects transformed a typical 1976 bungalow into a contemporary villa with a pleasant holiday feeling.
Nothing remains of the original layout. The changes start with the entrance door, which has been moved to a different location. The stairs to the basement and the attic were removed and replaced by two stair hatches, freeing up a considerable floor area that previously only served as circulation space. The garage was sacrificed as well. Not only because of the space it occupied, but mainly because it completely blocked the view on the most beautiful part of the garden. The unused attic space above the garage was opened up to the roof; in this way, JUMA created the perfect place to house the kitchen. The massive Vertigo lamp was hung above the central kitchen island, where it comes fully into its own.
