The house on the Pasteurstraat in Nieuw Leyden turns its faceted protective shell to the north, at the head of a block of 9 houses. By contrast its iridescent, open, inner façade, faces south and catches the passing natural light over the top and edges of the adjacent houses.

A conventional garden is not possible on the site but planting is an important element in the design. The exterior of the building is complimented by the vertical garden that, in part, cuts into the building façade and envelopes the garage, defining the raised sun terrace.
