Veldstraat 8

It is only very rarely that a home is created in which architecture, tranquillity and the living experience come together so harmoniously. This exceptional glass villa, designed by the renowned architect Wiel Arets, undoubtedly belongs to that rare category.
The property is also known as the H. House and has won an architectural award.
The transparent design unfolds across two elegant levels in which light, space and nature blend seamlessly together. On the ground floor, the living room, dining room and kitchen flow harmoniously into one another, whilst the floating staircase leads you to an open-plan upper level featuring bedrooms, a bathroom and a serene relaxation area. Thanks to the generous glazing, the landscape is in constant dialogue with the interior, and outdoor living becomes a sophisticated part of the living experience.

This villa has also been designed with sustainability in mind.
With a Vaillant all-electric heat pump, due for renewal in 2026, and 36 solar panels, the property boasts a perfect sustainable energy supply.

The surrounding garden landscape, designed by De Heerenhof, forms a natural extension of the architecture. A carefully composed interplay of terraces, garden rooms, mature trees, a swimming pool and a pond creates an atmosphere of serenity, privacy and tranquillity. Here, the signatures of two leading designers complement one another to form an exceptionally cohesive whole.

Furthermore, the plot offers unique opportunities for a creative professional wishing to combine living and working. The spacious garden offers the potential to build a detached studio, design studio or office space with its own secluded entrance for visitors. This is ideal for anyone wishing to combine living and working in one place, whilst maintaining peace and privacy.

Its location in the popular Heer neighbourhood completes the picture: a green and peaceful residential area near the Savelsbos, the MECC and the university hospital, whilst Maastricht’s historic city centre is just a few minutes’ cycle ride away.

The layout

Ground floor:
The strikingly designed entrance leads into the hall, which features built-in cupboards and a toilet. The doors are stylishly concealed within the wall, contributing to the sleek and minimalist character of the property. From the hall, you step directly into the impressive living space of approximately 118 m², where architecture, light and space come together in a unique way.

The fully open-plan layout is characterised by a minimalist design, exposed concrete ceilings, a trowelled concrete floor with a protective coating, and large floor-to-ceiling windows that create an exceptional connection with the garden. Thanks to the glass façades, the living space enjoys beautiful natural light throughout the day and a panoramic view of the greenery surrounding the property.

At the heart of the space is the luxury designer kitchen, featuring a spacious cooking island and an integrated breakfast bar. The entire kitchen is finished in white Corian and fitted with high-quality Miele built-in appliances.

The cooking island features an induction hob with an integrated extractor fan and a sink area. The wall of cupboards is fitted with no fewer than two ovens, a fan-assisted oven, a built-in coffee machine and a fridge.

The living room offers plenty of space for multiple seating and living arrangements and exudes tranquillity, comfort and exclusivity. The open staircase forms a subtle architectural feature within the interior and leads to the upper floor.

The basement is accessible from the entrance hall via a hatch. This is where the technical installations are located.

First floor:
The subtly architecturally designed open staircase leads to the first floor, which is entirely fitted out as an exclusive master suite of approximately 105 m² (with two sleeping areas). This floor is characterised by an open, loft-style layout.

The freestanding bath, set within the glass ‘point’, creates a particularly soothing atmosphere thanks to the sliding windows. Here, you can bathe amongst the trees.

The bathroom features a walk-in shower, a modern double washbasin with vanity unit and a toilet. The designer sanitaryware was created by Wiel Arets for Alessi.

Thanks to its generous dimensions and open-plan layout, this floor offers the possibility of easily creating two separate bedrooms by installing an additional partition wall, ensuring optimal privacy between the two rooms.

The two cupboards by Piet Hein Eek blend perfectly into the interior thanks to their subtle grey colour, which also features as a base colour throughout the rest of the house.

Garden:
The garden was designed by the renowned garden designers at De Heerenhof – who were also the first owners of the H. House – and, with its modern layout, serves as a perfect green reflection of the house.

At the centre of the garden is a stylish pond, adjoining an elongated swimming pool, which creates a serene and almost meditative atmosphere. The garden is symmetrically laid out and features a terrace and generous depth, allowing you to make the most of both sun and shade at any time of day.

The mature planting and tall hedges ensure optimal privacy in the deep back garden.

Just as the house plays with spaces and views at oblique, unexpected angles, the garden plays with green spaces through the use of hedges and trees.

The location:
The property is situated in the residential neighbourhood of Heer, on the outskirts of Maastricht and bordering the Vroendaal neighbourhood.
The range of amenities in Heer is excellent; shops, specialist retailers, a supermarket, a primary school and natural surroundings – including the Savelsbos within walking distance – make the neighbourhood popular. You can cycle to the centre of Maastricht in under 15 minutes.

The neighbourhood is particularly well situated in relation to the MUMC+, Maastricht University, the MECC conference centre and the main roads.
