The East West House, designed by Bloot Architecture in 2023, is a modern renovation and expansion of a classical 1930s brick corner house in The Hague, Netherlands.
Commissioned by clients with Dutch and Chinese backgrounds, the project blends Western and Asian architectural elements to create a warm, attractive, and functional living space. By incorporating a diverse material palette of wood, concrete, and steel, the design achieves a harmonious balance between the two distinctive styles, resulting in a cohesive and captivating family home.
