Expand and renew. The board of Village House on Entinghe in Dwingeloo has big plans and wants to renovate, but a few things have to be overhauled.
A sketch appears, with his finger, chairman Leo Kochen moves along a design of the renovated village house. “This part to the left of the building,” he points. “That is a large bay window that has to come with many windows. With a beautiful living room inside.”
If you look at the current building, then there is still a parking space where the bay window has to go. “That part disappears to make room for the extension and the current garden is also being overhauled.”
Not only does the outside get a makeover, the inside is also thoroughly handled. “The library is small and larger, there will be a new kitchen and some doors and walls disappear in the hall to make the living room bigger,” says Kochen.
Over Enginghe was built in 1954 as a farmhousing school, decades later it became a cultural center and then a village house. The building is now considerably outdated and needs to be renewed.
