这座典型的弗拉芒联排别墅的底层由一个入口大厅和车库组成，相邻的房间被布置成一个艺术家的工作室。这座房子有一个典型的扩展，有厨房、浴室和厕所。这个狭窄的扩展部分的退化状况成为拆毁它的有力理由。相反，在主体量的整个宽度上的新扩展部分为餐厅和厨房提供了空间。具有艺术气息的居民希望为扩建部分设计一个强有力的图形。他们的梦想是一个反映他们个性的扩展部分：色彩丰富、图形化、动态和大胆。
The ground floor of this typical Flemish townhouse consists of an entrance hall, and garage with an adjoining room furnished as an artist’s studio. The house had a typical extension with a kitchen, bathroom, and toilet. The degraded condition of this cramped extension became a strong argument for tearing it down. Instead, a new extension over the entire width of the main volume offers space for a dining room and kitchen. The artistic residents desired a strong graphic design for the expansion. Their dream was an extension with a reflection of their personality: colorful, graphic, dynamic, and daring.
为了取代正面的分节式大门，设计了一个带长椅的大窗户，面向街道，作为对邻居和路人的一种邀请姿态。这个元素表达了艺术居民的愿望，即通过展示他们的作品和挑起互动来与环境相联系。木质长椅成为当地人一起聊天和喝咖啡的热点。
In order to replace the sectional gate in the front facade, a large window with a bench facing the street was designed as an inviting gesture to the neighbors and passers-by. This element expresses the wish of the artistic residents to connect with the environment by displaying their work and provoking an interaction. The wooden bench became a hotspot for the locals to have a chat and a coffee together.
新的扩建部分通过主楼后部立面的一个新开口连接。艺术家的工作室已经成为一个开放空间的座位区，有一个新的厨房和用餐区。通过增加一个厕所和一个紧凑的储藏室（也是通往地下室的通道），走廊上的布局得到了优化。
The new extension is connected through a new opening in the rear facade of the main building. The artist’s studio has become a seating area in an open space with a new kitchen and dining area. The layout in the hallway has been optimized by adding a toilet and a compact storage room that is also the access to the basement.
扩建部分跨越了整个地块的宽度。大窗户吸收了日光，并将花园和房子连接起来。通过将窗户的金色金属饰面与米白色和勃艮第红色的不规则图案的面板相结合，外墙形成了非典型的图形声明。通过在底层增加一个连续的、图形化的瓷砖图案，在视觉上加强了故事的效果。
The extension spans the entire width of the plot. The big windows draw in daylight and connect the garden to the house. The facade results in an atypical graphic statement by combining the gold metallic finish of the windows with the irregular pattern of the panels in an off-white and burgundy-red color. By adding a continuous, graphic tile pattern over the ground floor, the story is strengthened visually.
三角形的形状是根据现场环境的独特衍生品。通过在钢结构中加入木材，扩展体量得以实现。形状是由一侧的双高扩展和另一侧的小花园墙建立的。高度的差异创造了一个夹层，可以从大厅进入，但与底层的厨房和用餐区有很好的连接。
The triangular shapes are unique derivates from the context on the site. By incorporating timber in a steel structure, the extension volume was realized. The shape was established by the double-height extension on one side and a small garden wall on the other side. The difference in height worked to create a mezzanine level that is accessible from the hall but very well connected to the ground floor’s kitchen and dining area.
扩建部分的屋顶有两个大的天窗，为房子提供了自然光。通过延长屋顶作为一个小天棚，花园变得更容易进入，并与房子连接，同时也提供了阴凉和庇护。
The roof of the extension has two large skylights that accommodate the house with natural light. By lengthening the roof as a small canopy, the garden becomes more accessible and connected with the house while also providing shade and shelter.
