H House in Maastricht by Wiel Arets Architects

Situated in Maastricht, Netherlands, the H House is a residential project from architects Wiel Arets.

The internal and external walls are a combination of transparent and opaque varieties of glass. In the interest of privacy, curtains have been strategically placed in the design.

With no structural walls, the building has a few rectangular columns providing support.

A note from the architects:

The combination of transparent and opaque glass, as well as the sliding and fixed portion of the façade, creates a number of different possible responses to the changing of the seasons and the fading of daylight. The spaces of the house are suffused with richness due to the layering of this unadorned configuration, the combination of materials and the variations in use.
