Extensions and roof extensions in Hilversum
Generous plots on sandy ground, with much characterful architecture that decides the appearance.
Hilversum sits on sand, which is unusual for this region: founding is simpler and cheaper there than in the peat and clay areas closer to Amsterdam. Plots are generous, gardens deep and there are many semi-detached and detached houses, so physically a great deal is possible.
The brake here is on the other side: Hilversum has a rich architectural history and a large number of characterful and protected buildings. On such a house the conversation is about how an extension or roof extension relates to the original design, and that is a design question before it is a building question. We find out in advance what applies at your address.

An extension does not change one room, it changes the way you use your whole ground floor. The kitchen gets room to breathe, the dining table finally seats everyone, and the garden becomes part of the house.
- Larger living room
- Open-plan kitchen
- Dining space
- Play space
More space upstairs.
Dakopbouw
A roof extension delivers what an extension cannot: bedrooms. A room of their own for the third child, a master bedroom with a bathroom, a study with a door that closes. A whole extra floor, in the place you already live.
