Hoge Duin en Daalseweg 21 B, Bloemendaal
‘Castellvm Aqvae’
For those looking for something truly special: An architecturally listed and unique house in the most fantastic location with surprising and special additional spaces on the plot. The special villa is the main building of the former filter building of the "Bloemendaalsche Waterleiding" (built 1905) and was transformed into a spectacular residence in 2001. The extensive conversion, under the architecture of Prof. Mart van Schijndel and Paul van Dam, resulted in a spacious house with clear sightlines.
The detached villa is located in the beautiful "Duin en Daal", near "het Kopje van Bloemendaal". The house stands on a spacious plot of 4,495 m² and has a living area of approx. 319 m². The villa has a playful layout with different levels and voids, high ceilings and lots of light through the skylights and windows.
Also on the plot are a guest house of 140 m² and a garden house of 20 m². Furthermore, two spacious cellars that can be used to your own taste and wish, and building volume could possibly be added.
The monumental main building, a round guesthouse that on closer inspection houses a pond, and the rear rectangular building volume equipped with a large underground space, together form an exciting ensemble. The guesthouse is separate from the main building and has a similar, imposing volume which makes it very special.
The villa is of significant importance from both a cultural-historical (as a rare and flawless example of a building type) and an architectural-historical perspective. It is a well-preserved example of the use of reinforced concrete in construction.
