How to transform an oddly unique house to fit a family's needs.

Case study: The Multi-Generational House

Complete Renovation

Project Completed

After having moved from country to country, this family of five was ready to settle in The Hague for a while and create their multi-generational family home. 

This 300 m2 house on a 3 acre land was a one of a kind project for both the family and us the architects. 

Located on the fringes of The Hague, this house’s layout is quite unique. Because of the sloping terrain the house was built on, the structure of the house was over 4 different levels, which were connected through intermediate mid-levels, and of course  plenty of stairs that led from one level to another. 

AKKA was in charge of renovating this 400m2 house, including structural elements, wall demolitions, new layouts, electrical, plumbing, finishes, look & feel, carpentry…etc. The end result was an intuitive flow connecting the different levels of the space efficiently and allowing this three-generations family to co-live in this house.

Exterior and Lifestyle 

After making the front entrance of the house visible and welcoming, we also designed a bike parking place, a playroom, a family gym and other indoor/outdoor space to spend quality time. 

The Colour Palette

To support this family’s lifestyle and preferences, we created a design based on natural shades and organic materials. Starting with earthy tones, and thoughtfully introducing some colours, we managed to integrate the family’s exisintng artefacts into a new collective home.

Architecture is a service, not a product.
Architecture is a service, not a whim or a fancy.
Architecture starts from the users, not from the Architect. This means, listening to clients and users is indispensable and the service needs to be created from them, with them, and not imposed on them.

"This document was very interesting and I could not agree more with you. My wife & I had one experience of renovation with our current apartment. Our architect at that time should have read your document beforehand, to say the least."

“We would like to express our gratitude for the time you invested in helping us get to a clear picture.  Anna and I really appreciated the call we had with you, your responsiveness, and the great empathy that you exhibited throughout – we certainly felt very “well taken care of” when engaging with you.  On the practical side, we especially appreciated that there was the option to obtain robust bottom-up cost estimates for the construction itself (not every design architect offers this).”
