Rocha Tombal Architects designed the bierings house in Utrecht, Netherlands not to avoid visual contact with the adjacent houses, but to give breathtaking and direct views of the countryside landscape. The angled windows reflect the scenery outside to create an almost mirror-like effect.
Architects Iwona Wozniakowska, Enrique Otero Neira and Elena Cabrera Vacas created angled ceilings on the ground floor to accentuate the garden surrounding the bierings house. On the adjoining floors the windows vary in shape and angle to offer varied daylight experiences.
