该地点位于一个山谷中，在一些蜿蜒的小街道的交汇处。该地区的特点是东侧是梯形房屋，南侧与斯海尔德河的冲积平原接壤，西侧是巨大的老果园。这个被列入建筑遗产目录的农场，在空置之前，在同一个家庭里呆了三代。它由三座建筑组成（住宅、马厩和面包房），有一个中央广场，可以俯瞰梯形房屋的外墙。
The site is located in a valley at the intersection of a number of small meandering streets. The area is characterized by terraced houses on the east side, on the south side it borders the alluvial plain of the Scheldt and to the west, one looks upwards on the vast old orchard. This farm, which is included in the architectural heritage inventory, remained within the same family for three generations before it became vacant. It consists of a cluster of three volumes (dwelling, stables and the bread house) with a central square overlooking the facades of the terraced houses.
这些带坡屋顶的砖砌建筑在材料的使用、形式和类型方面对该地区非常特别，但在大小和布局上却有非常迷人的变化。极其有趣的各种氛围、城市设计纹理、景观和拓扑结构是这项任务的出发点。
These brick volumes with a gable roof are very specific to the area in the use of materials, form, and typology, but vary in size and layout in a very fascinating way. The extremely interesting variety of atmospheres, urban design grain, views, and topology are the starting point for this assignment.
设计进一步基于这个集群，提供了两个额外的带屋檐的体量。我们将现有体量内的干预限制在最小范围内，提供一些严格意义上的流通所需的开口。
The design is further based on this cluster by providing two additional volumes with a gable roof. We limit the interventions within the existing volumes to the minimum by providing some openings where these are strictly necessary for circulation purposes.
在主体量的西侧增加了两个对称的侧翼。这两座新建的翼楼与现有的房屋相比是扭曲的，并以这种方式创造了一个具有封闭性的天井。通过不接触这两个体量，以一种简单的方式创造了一个通往花园的通道，并且体量在视觉上保持了强烈的相互分离，这加强了集群原则。
Two symmetrical wings are added on the west side of the main volume. The two new-build wings are twisted in relation to the existing home and in this way create a patio with an enclosed character. By not touching the two volumes, a passage to the garden is created in a simple way and the volumes remain visually strongly separated from each other, which reinforces the cluster principle.
