Architecture Design of House TAT

Description About The Project

House TAT by Nico van der Meulen Architects perched on a steep and narrow site with sweeping 180° views to the east, transforms a once unremarkable structure into a five-storey architectural marvel. Designed to embrace its dramatic surroundings, the home integrates contemporary geometric elements in steel and concrete, creating a striking street façade. Vertical louvers on the eastern and western façades provide privacy and sun control, while frameless stacking glass doors blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, making the most of the breathtaking views.

The home’s vertical layout separates public and private areas, with the top floor dedicated to entertainment, featuring a bar, lounge, meeting room, and covered balcony. Abundant natural light filters through double-volume glazing in the main staircase shaft, infusing the interiors with warmth and openness.

Interior design by M Square Lifestyle Design reflects a modern, minimalist aesthetic that enhances the architectural vision, with low-profile furniture from brands like Molteni & C and Fontana Arte ensuring uninterrupted vistas. House TAT is a sophisticated city retreat, expertly crafted for luxurious living and entertaining.
