A luxurious house built from a church is an oxymoron in itself but thats what Ruud Visser Architects in collaboration with Peter Boer have achieved. The Church House doesn-t completely blanches out its historic roots but there is an unmistakable air of modern aesthetics. Built along the river De Rotte, the house is a private sanctuary to a family of four and is an impressive architectural fusion of history and progress. With a volume of 3000 cube, the house successfully marries indigenous gothic with straight-line Dutch to be viable in today-s modern real estate context. There is no doubt that the Church House is a study of contrasts and is noting short of a meditative experiment that leaves a lasting impression.
