This house was built in 1962 by the Dutch wood merchant, Kees Bruynzeel, as his showhouse. It has become a famous landmark, well known by architects and art lovers.

The roof is particularily interesting: it is a self-supporting construction in the shape of an hyperbolic paraboloid. It is made of solid teak beams, while the ceiling is lined with precious yellow-wood.

View from the front garden to the highest corner of the roof. It points to the North.

The original owner called his house "Die Hoogste Hoek" - The Highest Corner, an allusion not only to the pointed roof but also to the lofty situation of the house high up on the slope of the mountain.

Another view from the street. The property actually consists of two plots: one for the house, and one for the garden.

I've always liked the entrance. While there is a way in through the garage (a large garage, it's hidden behind the house), this is The Kings Way ;-)

Facing the house across the inner garden is a very nice guest cottage, complete with panorama windows and its own bathroom.

A view from the guest cottage towards the rear garden. The swimming pool is the largest private pool in town.

The lounge. The peak of the yellow-wood ceiling is 8m (24') above the parquet floor!
