The Villa JM, a retreat in the Dutch province of North Brabant, is a study in restraint — and perhaps opulence. A U-form with living spaces in one arm and sleeping quarters in the other, the schematic design couldn’t be more basic, nor could the exterior palette, which consists of ash slats and Portuguese stone. But beyond the facade are touches of exquisite marble, sleek millwork made of American walnut, and sheets of dramatic curved glass. Powerhouse Company has somehow made showiness compatible with taste.

Team Stijn Kemper and Nanne De Ru with Angelo Haemers, Rick De Lange, Maarten Diederix, Emma Scholten, Anne-Ragnhild Larsen, Ahmad Hallak, Mitchel Veloo, Bjørn Andreassen, Koen Van den Dungen and Gert Ververs
