Located in Enghien, the Nazareth red brick house is composed with 3 houses in a row visually interrupted by windows or more elaborate facades. By grouping the first floors, the living space takes on generous proportions and allows the annexes to be attached to the body of the main building, which allows more freedom on the rear façade to open generous bays towards the garden. The demolition of the party wall between the gardens of the two houses gives way to a terrace in dialogue with the kitchen. In an effort to be resilient, the structural interventions are left exposed and show the former division of the rooms. These lines punctuate the perspectives, and participate in the development of the free plan. The intervention to the backfacade is mainly the extention, a modest volume wich give a lot of light.

Department: Construction
Location: Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, Brussels (BE)
Surface area: 560 m²
Year: 2020-ongoing

The project consists to work with the void. In order to lighten the volumetry, large bays cut in the masonry mass of beams and
columns. The bow-window recalls the projections of the surrounding buildings and allows to increase the surfaces of living areas and terraces.
The choice of material for the facade was made in a yellow-orange brick color scheme, similar to the existing facade of the street.
fifty meters higher. This choice allows to increase the direct integration of the project between its neighboring houses but also in the surrounding context where we find facades in red, beige, yellow or reddish bricks.

At the back, a workshop is fitted out. By creating a patio at the back and a garden at the front, the project is able to develop the necessary and sufficient facade surfaces to bring natural light into all the living rooms.

Transformation of family house

Description: Transformation and renovation of a family house
Type of project: Housing
Type of customer: Private
Department: Transformation and renovation
Location: Berchem Sint Agathe, Brussels (BE)
Surface area: 200 m²
Year: 2016-2017

This is a single-family, built on a rectangular parcel of land on a street with heterogeneous architecture.

The project consists in recreating a single-family house, transforming and extending the living spaces, bringing in more light, and taking advantage of views on the garden side. A particularity of the site and of the house is that the cellars have high ceilings and open directly onto the garden. Part of the cellars were therefore used for the kitchen and dining room.

For the whole of the living room, the desire is to enlarge the living space.

A black corrugated sheet metal cladding responds to the cladding of a warehouse located at the bottom of the plot.

The front facade has not been modified in order to preserve the identity of the place.

The rooms on the street are perfectly restored to their original state, by preserving their volume and reclaiming their heritage.

The central rooms of the first floor, which are without direct sunlight, are dematerialized and transformed into a splendid staircase in half levels. By placing placing the staircase in the center of the house,we create a source of light and visual connections throuw the outdoor.
