amsterdam-based marc prosman architecten has designed ‘ijburg’,  a detached villa, carefully embedded into this island by incorporating open and panoramic qualities. the spacious experience provides a beautiful view on the water by characterizing a sense of freedom within the envelope.the rear facade is mostly comprised of glazed fronts, gaining access to a platform terrace and the wide balcony. the exterior fabric is wrapped in a wooden structure throughout the residence, giving the villa a coherent appearance. accented by a concrete frame, the front entrance gives way to the kitchen area, with the living room at the back facing the water. a horizontal strip of frosted glass on the outside is transformed into a bookcase on the inside – welcoming diffused light into the space without affecting the occupants’ privacy.
