这座新房子位于布鲁塞尔郊区的一个住宅区，它的设计是为了低调地融入其中，同时宣扬其现代特征。它部分地隐藏在被保留下来的植被后面，其特点是非常水平的体量。悬空的体量装饰了正面，其中只有角落里的一个大凸窗创造了内部和街道之间的互动。巨大的水平石墙将房子固定在土地上，确保了底层的隐私，并允许给房子的入口提供一个序列。它们还与房屋其他部分更精致的白色建筑形成对比。
Located in a residential area on the outskirts of Brussels, this new house was designed to blend in discreetly while asserting its contemporary character. It is partially hidden behind the vegetation that has been preserved and is characterized by a very horizontal volumetry. A suspended volume ornates the front facade in which only a large bay window in the corner creates an interaction between the interior and the street. The large horizontal stone walls anchor the house to the land, ensure the privacy of the ground floor and allow to give a sequence to the entrance of the house. They also contrast with the more refined and white architecture of the rest of the house.
几个视觉轴线逐渐显现出来。它们展示了主要的建筑元素：从入口处可以看到的前庭，后来发现的不朽的楼梯，以及完全向花园开放的沐浴在灯光下的室内。这些视觉轴线向外延伸，特别是一楼的轴线，它为正面的街道打开了一个美丽的视角。
Several visual axes are gradually revealed. They stage the main architectural elements: the front patio visible from the entrance, the monumental staircase that is discovered later, and the interior bathed in light that fully opens to the garden. These visual axes extend outwards, especially the one on the first floor which opens up a beautiful perspective towards a street that faces it at the front.
这些视觉和流通轴到处都有。它们让人们看到了房子的所有长度。它们也强调了空间的印象，并揭示了内部空间之间的巨大流动性。这些空间一个接一个地打开，双重高度连接了底层的起居室和一楼的多功能空间。这些空间沐浴在阳光下，因为它们受益于众多的光源，包括楼梯上方的天顶。楼梯是这个房子的杰作之一。它的曲线和柔韧的形式装扮了这个空间，并使之具有特征。
These visual and circulation axes are present everywhere. They give a view of the house in all its length. They also accentuate the impression of space and reveal the great fluidity between the interior spaces. These open one into another and the double height connects the living rooms on the ground floor with the multipurpose spaces on the first floor. These spaces are bathed in sunlight because they benefit from a multitude of light sources, including a zenithal one above the staircase. The staircase is one of the masterpieces of this house. Its curved and supple forms dress and characterize the space.
由于它的L形状，房子全天都能享受到阳光，非常明亮。在下午，阳光开始透过前立面照射进来。然后，通过天井，阳光照射到室内，同时由于大石墙的存在，确保了居民的私密性。这个天井构成了一种近距离的花园，与大开间形成对比，使林间环境成为日常生活的背景。这座房子的特点确实是非常大的落地窗，几乎占据了一楼的整个后立面。最大的窗户尺寸为535厘米×270厘米。为了防止过热，这些窗户都配备了太阳能过滤器。
Thanks to its L shape, the house benefits from the sun throughout the day and is very bright. In the afternoon, the sun begins to shine through the front façade. It is then through the patio that the sun comes to illuminate the interior while ensuring the intimacy of the inhabitants thanks to the large stone walls. This patio constitutes a sort of proximity garden in contrast with the large openings that make the wooded environment a background to daily life. This house is indeed characterized by very large floor-to-ceiling windows that occupy almost the entire rear facades on the ground floor. The largest window measures 535cm x 270cm. To prevent overheating, these windows are equipped with solar filters.
建筑师为该项目专门开发的结构玻璃的细节，使框架消失，提供了一个完全开放和无障碍的内部视野。这些独特的细节在技术上很复杂，给外墙带来了细腻和优雅的感觉。在上层，视野和光线与通风是分开的。因此，玻璃部分是固定的，开口框架是不透明的。这使得外面的景色不受任何技术因素的影响。
The details of the structural glazing, specifically developed by the architects for this project, make the frames disappear, offering a fully open and unobstructed view from the interior. These unique details are technically complex and give finesse and elegance to the facades. On the upper floor, views and light are dissociated from the ventilation. Thus the glazed parts are fixed and the opening frames are opaque. This allows to free the views on the outside from any technical contingency.
承重元素（墙壁和地板）是由实木（CLT）和金属制成。这允许限制建筑的重量，从而减少地基和金属柱的部分。因此，整个建筑的轻盈印象得到了加强。实木墙在结构上也很有趣，可以创造出入口的悬臂，并允许限制这个新建筑的碳足迹。
The load-bearing elements (walls and floors) were made of solid wood (CLT) and metal. This allowed to limit the weight of the construction and thus to reduce the foundations and the sections of the metal posts. The impression of lightness of the whole is thus reinforced. The solid wood walls are also structurally interesting to create the cantilever of the entrance and allow to restrict the carbon footprint of this new construction.
