Double House
The Double House is a house located in Utrecht, Netherlands. It was designed by Bjarne Mastenbroek and Winy Maas of MVRDV in 1997. The Koek Family bought a large piece of land that overlooked a beautiful park, but soon found out that they could not afford to build a house to satisfy such a great piece of land. They realized that with the joined income of two families, the house could reach its true potential, so the Koek family joined with the Wesseling family. Bjarne Mastenbroek was given the task of fitting the two families into one structure, and divide views close to equally and the original buyers would get 2/3 of the space and the new buyers would get 1/3 of the space. The project size ended up being 300 m2
