在60年代,安特卫普周围的绿化带是建筑实验的场所,在这个林区建造了几个有趣的别墅。我们的客户买下了这些早期的建筑瑰宝之一。虽然处于衰败状态,但在我们第一次访问时,原始设计的力量在厚厚的、杂草丛生的绿色植物中闪现出来。

In the 60s the green belt around Antwerp was the place for architectural experimentation, several interesting villas were built in this wooded area. Our client bought one of those early architectural gems. Although in a state of decay, the strength of the original design shimmered through the thick, overgrown greenery upon our first visit.

不幸的是,在检查原始结构时,该建筑已经无法按照今天的标准进行翻新。此外,我们家的功能普遍发生了转变,在家工作,忙碌的家庭生活等等,导致原有的平方米数增加了。考虑到这一点,在强烈尊重其原有建筑品质的前提下,重建房屋是更好的选择。(,重新改造,精神上的进化,对60年代设计的颂扬)

Unfortunately, when inspecting the original structure, the building was too far gone to renovate to today’s standards. In addition, the shift in functionality of our homes in general, working from home, a busy family life, etc, led to an increase in the original sqm. With that in mind, a rebuild of the house with a strong respect for its original architectural qualities was the better option. (, a resto-mod, an evolution in spirit, an ode to the 60s design)

乍一看,随机定位的混凝土墙来定义内部-外部空间和功能。它们在高度和方向上的变化使它们能够实现多种功能:承重、隐私、烟囱、遮阳、遮阳板、储藏室、花园墙,等等。底层的设计是面向未来的,在一个类似于阁楼的空间中包含了所有必要的功能,通过混凝土墙的定位在视觉上进行分离。对噪音最敏感的空间位于建筑的边缘,但日常流动不受阻碍。

At first glance, randomly positioned concrete walls to define the interior-exterior spaces and functions. Their variation in height and orientation allows them to fulfill serval functions: bearing, privacy, chimney, sunscreen, paravent, storage, garden wall, etc. The ground floor is designed to be future-proof, incorporating all necessary functions in a loft-like space, visually separated by the positioning of the concrete walls. The most noise-sensitive spaces are situated on the edges of the building but with a non-obstructed daily flow.

孩子们的卧室位于屋顶,这个第一层是由一个镜面盒子形成的,由于森林的反射而消失,使别墅保持其光滑的水平平房般的外观。悬臂屋顶下的落地推拉窗强调了这种拉长,混凝土地板从内部流向外部的露台。花园、混凝土和玻璃之间的视觉和空间互动以及镜面体量的反射使建筑具有永恒的外观,并形成对原始设计力量的颂扬。

The children’s bedrooms are located on the roof, this first floor is formed by a mirrored box that disappears due to the reflection of the forest, allowing the villa to maintain its slick horizontal bungalow-like appearance. The elongation is emphasized by to the floor-to-ceiling sliding windows under the cantilevered roof, with concrete floors flowing from the interior to the exterior terraces. The visual and spacial interactions between the garden, concrete, and glass and the reflections of the mirrored volume give the building its timeless appearance and form an ode to the strength of the original design.
