24 photo: Piotr Krajewski Schirmeister House Scheepstimmermanstraat Amsterdam Investor budget could only cover 50% of the available volume, meaning that roughly half of the lot would have to be left unbuilt Theoretically, this could only be achieved in one of two ways The architect could make an internal court, dividing the house into something resembling the traditional front and back sections, or he could develop only half the depth of the six-metre-wide lot, leaving an alleyway of sorts As it happens, this second strategy was perfect for parking the client's three cars in procession on his own property as requested The result was an ultra-slender (270m clear), relatively deep house with an adjoining open space that so widened the view from the property that the head elevations could be blankwalled save for a few low-lying horizontal slits The long, freestanding sidewall on the other hand sports mainly tall narrow windows that permit a sidelong view of things All this together stitches the undeveloped area to the house (text from architect's website) Project is not public! 1999 Herman Hertzberger pkrajewski_pl photo: Piotr Krajewski 24
