The project reads as a calm rural house, not a showpiece, with interventions that respect memory and make room for new life.

Villa JPC is a newly built house in the Netherlands by Guy de Vos, set close to the River Amstel. The plan follows the sun from first light in the bedrooms to sunset gatherings in a second-floor living room facing nature, with materials doing the quiet work: pre-finished teakwood, travertine, and microcement. Generous windows, plush seating, and a kitchen carved from rock speak to daily life as much as craft.
