Then there are occasions when the house itself paints a picture of curated contrast that draws you in visually. Nestled on a lush green lot, Villa Zeist 2 in Netherlands falls into the latter category, with a façade that embraces brick, wood and glass in a gleeful manner. Add to this the presence of concrete lines that create the upper levels of each room in the house and you have a dashing residence that feels timeless and modern at the same time!
