马赫伦之家：一个适合在地板和天花板之间的住宅，由柱子的网格分隔。
这座房子建在一个偏僻地区的地块上，位于第一排典型的佛兰德斯土地屋（”fermettes”）的后面。一个特殊的起始位置：没有直接的邻居–绝妙的隔离–而且该建筑几乎不受城市法规的约束。
那么，如何设计一栋能从周围环境中获得最大收益的房子呢？
House Machelen: a dwelling that fits between a floor and a ceiling, separated by a grid of columns.
This house is built on a plot located in an outlying area, behind a first row of typical Flemish landhouses (“fermettes”). An exceptional starting position: there are no direct neighbours – splendid isolation – and the building is barely subject to urban regulations.
So how to design a house that can extract the maximum from its surroundings?
自由的计划
这个问题引出了 “自由平面 “的景象和基本设想：一个适合在地板和天花板之间的住宅，由混凝土柱子的网格分开。
‘Plan libre’
This question leads to the scenic, basic vision of a ‘plan libre’: a dwelling that fits between a floor and a ceiling, separated by a grid of concrete columns.
所有额外的建筑元素（墙壁、窗户……）都是 “自由的”，而不是承载。这个概念允许自己创造一个非常开放的计划和流动的空间，因此，通过房子和它的周围的迷人的景色。
All extra architectonic elements (walls, windows, …) are ‘free’, not bearing. The concept allows itself to create a very open plan with flowing spaces, hence fascinating views through the house and its surroundings.
这个房子本身就是一个小型的（室内）景观：一个小珊瑚礁，一个粗糙的混凝土结构，可以由人类或（以后）由自然来居住。
This home is a mini (interior) landscape in itself: a little coral reef, a rough concrete structure to inhabit whether by human or (later on) by nature.
与周围绿色环境的相互作用
外墙的设计是其背后功能的直接结果；它们根据住户的喜好框住周围的景观。因此，没有真正的正面或背面的外墙–所有四个都是不同的，受到附近自然元素的影响。
Interaction with the green surroundings
The design of the facades is a direct result of the functions that lie behind it; they frame the surrounding landscape as pleases the residents. Therefore, there is no real front or back facade – all four are differently, influenced by nearby natural elements.
结构=整理
我们说服客户保持所用材料的可见性–诚实地展示结构，而不是在墙壁和天花板上涂抹灰泥，把一切都掩盖起来。
Structure = finishing
We convinced the client to keep the used materials visible – to honestly show the structure, instead of plastering walls and ceilings and cover everything up.
该结构完全由现场浇筑的混凝土制成。粗糙的胶合板被用来做模板。这绝对不是为了让混凝土变得光滑和干净；小的缺陷、不同面板之间的接缝和木头上的标记是一种附加值。
The structure is fully made out of site-poured concrete. Rough plywood panels are used for the formwork. It was definitely not the intention to get the concrete smooth and clean; small defaults, seams in between the different panels and the markings on the wood are an added value.
除了混凝土之外，外墙还使用了几乎是典型的佛兰德橙色砖。无论是内部还是外部。墙壁被简化为其本质。
In addition to the concrete, an almost typical Flemish orange brick was used for the facades. Both inside and outside. The walls are reduced to their essence.
所有的内置家具，包括厨房和衣柜，都是由深色混凝土板制成的。这种材料不需要任何额外的修饰。它实际上是一种廉价的套管板–再次寻找材料的本质。
All the built-in furniture, including the kitchen and wardrobes, are made out of dark concreteplex plates. This material does not require any additional finishing. It’s actually a cheap casing plate – again a search for the essence of materials.
