Along the dike

design of a luxurious contemporary family home

about the project

For a client and their family with two children, Brightside designed this villa on one of the most beautiful dike locations in Rotterdam - its program spread over an impressive 450 square meters. The unique spiral-based design incorporates the natural height differences between the dike and the garden, creating a harmonious blend of architecture and landscape. The villa's floors are conceived as terraces connected by wide stairs, offering stunning views of the river and garden. Large glass openings and playful interior elements ensure a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, providing an open and interactive living environment. The result is a sophisticated home that perfectly complements its scenic surroundings.
