Daylighthouse 2. A wooden and glass cube immersed in light

Daylighthouse 2, located in Almere, near the large IJsselmeer lake, in the Netherlands, is a wooden cube house of 9 meters per side, full of natural light and offering its inhabitants splendid views of the marsh frequented by a multitude of birds

A cube of light that interacts with the landscape

Totally linked to the changing daylight, the architecture of the Daylighthouse 2, designed by the Mirck Architecture studio, adapts and transforms both in the aesthetics of the facades and in the internal atmosphere in response to changes in the external environment. This refined example of contemporary residential architecture projects presents itself as a cube clad in an elegant frame of wooden slats, designed to fulfill the client's desires and ensure a constant dialogue with the surrounding nature, harmoniously immersing itself in its natural habitat.

A dynamic and sustainable architectural project

The latest in a row of terraced houses, the Daylighthouse 2 features a ground floor living room completely glazed and oriented towards the south and west. Protection against overheating is ensured by the cantilever volume of the bedroom located on the upper floor, a key element in architectural projects focused on sustainability. On the north side, a split level opens up the interior space, creating strategic voids where a sleek circular staircase winds, highlighting the dynamism of the spaces.

A winter garden with breathtaking views

The north side of the house is designed to welcome natural light through large openings, especially in the winter garden located on the roof. This space is conceived as a climatic transition between indoors and outdoors: ideal for plants and comfortable for the client. From here, the view opens up to the horizon, offering a panorama that embraces the lake, boats, birds in flight, and glimpses of Amsterdam and Marken, creating an atmosphere of deep connection with the landscape.
