For centuries, the upper layers of Amsterdam and Haarlem have fled the busy cities to find refreshment in rural Bloemendaal. Country estates were founded in the rolling landscapes, of which the eighteenth-century Wildhoef is one.

The monumental coach house from 1841 was given a place in that landscape park. It was designed by top architect, Johan David Zocher Jr., The grandson of the park’s landscaper. Coach houses are pre-eminently an expression of wealth. As in many cases, and here too, it is a combination of horse stables and a coach house where the carriages were stored. The stables provided space for twelve (!) horses.

During recent renovations, the building has been made habitable and equipped with a spacious staircase with elevator and a subdivision into rooms. The great height of the space is still present, creating an un-Dutch effect.

As the last renovation had taken place in the 1980s, the property was dated, the owner therefore struggled to sell it. Using our artist impressions, in which we created a rather cosmopolitan interior. This suddenly gave the house a lot of attention value on the internet. This way, the special coach house soon found new owners: a young family that was then able to renovate it according to their own wishes.
