Mirror House

Design for the owner of a manufacturing company for car mirrors. A famous Dutch architect toured the neighbourhood. Looking at all the newly built houses he remarked "Not bad. But I have the feeling that I have seen all of this before". This inspired us to design something that hasn't been seen before. The mirrored glass of the tilted front facade would perfectly mirror the arriving car. In the end the Mirror House was not built. The client decided to buy the nearby Sandstra House, previously designed by Dorens Architects.
