On one of the most outstanding locations of the Netherlands, where the (in Holland) rare hills of the Veluwe touch the river Rhine by Arnhem, we are working on estate Klingelbeek. This derelict estate will be transformed into a 21st century estate where living, working and playing go hand in hand.
The gently sloping landscape embraces three formal clusters; one cluster from the historic villa, one cluster embracing the historic allotment gardens a new one in the forest where the former formal gardens have disappeared.
The water that flows down the hill through the 2 small valleys gathers in a spectacular natural swimming pond that overlooks the floodplains of the Rhine.
