该房产位于地块的后面，原本由一个典型的老农舍和一个90年代的扩建部分组成，具有独特的建筑风格：全玻璃外墙，平面呈弧形，屋顶由几个平行的小屋顶组成。这两种建筑类型的冲突是一件奇怪的事情。这座房子对居民来说已经太小了，所以需要一个额外的卧室、浴室，如果可行的话还需要一个封闭的入口大厅。

The property is situated at the back on the plot and originally consisted of a typical old farmhouse and an extension dating from the 90s, with a distinct architecture: a fully glazed facade, with a curved shape in plan, with a roof which consists of several parallel smaller roofs. The clash of these two building typologies is a strange thing. This house had become too small for the residents, so there was a need for an extra bedroom, bathroom and if feasible also an enclosed entrance hall.

旧的农舍被重新安排，为了不影响居民的日常生活，我们选择在现有的建筑之外建立新的扩展。通过老农舍一楼的新的多功能厅与扩建部分相连接。

The old farm house was rescheduled, and in order to not interfere with the daily routine of the residents there’s been chosen to erect the new expansion besides the existing buildings. The connection with the expansion was made via the new multipurpose room on the first floor of the old farmhouse.

新扩建部分的建筑加强了现有建筑的模糊特征，因为我们没有寻找一个尽可能与现有建筑相匹配的解决方案，而是选择了赋予新建筑体量一个强大的个人特征。新的建筑体量似乎已经登陆或被冲到了现场，作为一种复古未来主义的胶囊，人们无法确定其来源。这个胶囊并不是指建筑的某个时代，而是让人联想到儒勒-凡尔纳的探索或漫画家Peeters和Schuiten完美回忆的世界：一种科幻和怀旧的鸡尾酒。

The architecture of the new extension reinforces the ambiguous character of the existing buildings, because instead of searching a solution that matches as closely as possible the existing buildings, there’s been chosen to give the new building volume a strong and personal character. The new building volume seems to have landed or washed up on the site, as a sort of retro-futuristic capsule which one can not determine the origin. This capsule does not refer to an era in architecture, but is reminiscent of the exploits of Jules Verne or the world who cartoonists Peeters and Schuiten recall so perfectly: a cocktail of science fiction and nostalgia.

外部被涂上了铜，外部的古怪气氛在浴室里得到了转化，它被设计成一种白色聚酯的驾驶舱。卧室和阳台位于浴室旁边，就像一个（太空）船的套房。

The exterior was coated with copper, and the quirky atmosphere of the exterior has been translated in the bathroom, which is designed as a kind of cockpit in white polyester. The bedroom and the terrace are situated next to the bathroom, like a suite in a (space) ship.

一个新的入口位于新体量的腹下，因为原来人们直接进入生活空间。这个玻璃体量是90年代装修的延续，无论是在设计上还是在材料上。90年代的绿色玻璃外墙被简单地扩展，在入口、浴室和客厅旁边形成一个小天井。在入口处旁边，还自然形成了一个有顶的露台。

A new entrance is situated under the belly of the new volume, because originaly one entered directly into the living space. This glazed volume is a continuation of the 90s renovation, both in design and in terms of materials: The green glazed 90s facade is simply extended, causing a small patio next to the entrance, bathroom and livingroom. Next to the entrance there also naturally develops a covered terrace.

乍一看，这个结果似乎有点奇怪，但同时它也非常明显。要把它归入一个特定的风格或类别是相当困难的，这确保了这所房子能经受住时间的考验。

At first sight the result seems a little bit odd, but at the same time it is also very obvious. It’s quite difficult to place it into a particular style or category, which ensures this house will withstand the test of time.
