Private House . 2022

Location . Belgium

Type . reconversion and extention of farmhouse . “Zonevreemde Woning”

Status . Building permit accepted

An exceptional situation; where we were given the opportunity to build a bungalow out across the width of the plot, along the road, instead of having to search for the depth of the plot (which is much more common on most narrower plots).

The centerpiece and heart of the house is created by a new low-hanging sloping roof connecting two existing volumes (the original farmhouse and a small technical shed).

This results in a surprising external appearance thanks to the alternating low-hanging roofs.

At the same time the house has a completely different experience from the inside thanks to the circulation throughout the house that also follows this axis from right to left.

...And at the same time offering a diversity of views of the lake from every room.
