VR House, a unique residence located in the Netherlands, was designed and completed by Belgian designer Nicolas Schuybroek. It uses pure materials to give a simple yet uncomplicated character, expressing a sophisticated atmosphere with a primitive look. The interior walls are combined with glass, opening up multiple viewpoints and incorporating the outdoor landscape into the interior, creating an organic and clever combination.
Nicolas Schuybroek was born in 1981 and raised in Brussels. Having been educated in English, French and Dutch-speaking schools, he is perfectly tri-lingual and is used to working in those three languages. His multicultural background and extensive travel nourish his work with a broad and international perspective.
The essence of his work is to conceive serene and pure, yet extremely warm and authentic spaces. While his architecture is often described as monastic and minimalistic, it is surprisingly sophisticated and it always has a soul. His works explore a sharp vision of space and materials. Most people recognize Nicolas’ hand through his rigorous and contextual approach: embracing the essence of built forms, from the roughest construction to the smallest interior details.
