\"Longhouse<\/div>\n

Dutch studio Bastiaan Jongerius<\/a> Architecten has transformed a 1970s farmhouse<\/a> outside Amsterdam<\/a>, extending its timber structure and updating its exterior with black-metal panels and charred wood<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named Longhouse Farm, the timber-and-brick farmhouse in Zunderdorp was originally slated for demolition until Bastiaan Jongerius Architecten<\/a> opted to retain and extend it.<\/p>\n

The studio created a series of layered openings and double-height voids in its interiors, opening up the home to the surrounding farmland while also highlighting the retained timber structure of its floors and roof.<\/p>\n

“At first, it seemed obvious to demolish the small house and start over,” the studio told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“But by choosing to preserve the little house, all steps in the design process were focused on what was already present, and those qualities guided the design,” it added.<\/p>\n

Longhouse Farm comprises a gabled volume to the south occupying the footprint of the existing home, and an adjoining monopitch form to the north that replaces a former garage.<\/p>\n

A desire for cladding that would require minimal maintenance led Bastiaan Jongerius Architecten to a combination of blackened Accoya wood, alternated with black metal standing-seam panels, with new insulation improving the home’s energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

Slightly offset from one another, the two volumes of Longhouse Farm are united by a long axis through the centre of the home, bookended by double-height windows that frame a nearby church tower and the landscape.<\/p>\n

The house is entered in the northern volume, where a study space is separated from a porch by a slatted wooden screen.<\/p>\n

Folding doors lead through into a large living, dining and kitchen area to the south, which steps down into a skylit lean-to.<\/p>\n
