Recently MSN had an interesting article entitled '10 unique structures transformed into astonishing homes'. Structure 3 was a Parksite Ambulance Garage in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Here's the description from that article.
"This 2,800-square-foot living space was converted in 2008 from an ambulance garage. The Doepel Strijkers team transformed what was a flat space into a multilevel[ed] habitation by creating a dugout in the center. [This] dugout also created room for a second level. The bedrooms are suspended over the sunken kitchen area in a polycarbonate 'light box' with integrated LED lights. The kitchen has custom cupboards. [Orange blocks] on the stairs to the living room act as a seating [area] or tables. A new glass wall looks out to the greenery of a park."
If you search Doepel Strijkers in Google (my Google translate says that it means something along the lines of having a blissful moment = Doepel, and strings = strijkers) , you'll find they are a large Dutch architecture firm seemingly specializing in 'Modern' looks. MORE on the house, including pictures and a video you MUST watch. Love that language! Think it needs more Orange though?
I would buy that place in a second. All it needs is an entrance to the Batcave.
