在梅赫伦市中心外，有一座50年代的现代主义房屋，由Lucien Engels设计。这座带有城市花园的漂亮房子的翻新工作是由dmvA完成的。
Just outside the city center of Mechelen there is a modernist house from the 1950s designed by Lucien Engels. The renovation of this beautiful house with a city garden was done by dmvA.
现代主义的设计语言是该建筑的一大特色，当然在改造过程中也被接受。改造的目标是尊重现有的设计，甚至通过一些调整来加强它。
The modernist design language is a great quality of the building and was of course embraced during the renovation process. The goal of the renovation was to respect the existing design and even strengthen it with a few adaptations.
这座房子已经根据当代需求进行了翻新，并进行了一些建筑干预。例如，现有的混凝土露台被一个新的具有独特个性的露台结构所取代。其结果是对恩格斯设计的现代诠释，加强了花园和房子之间的关系。
The house has been renovated according to contemporary needs with some architectural intervention. For example, the existing concrete terrace was replaced by a new terrace construction with a distinct character. The result is a contemporary interpretation of the design of Engels, intensifying the relationship between the garden and the house.
房子里的功能被重新安排，底层被降低了。因此，分层的质量得到了最佳利用，这与大窗户相结合，形成了光线和水平差异的游戏。
The functions in the house are rearranged and the ground floor has been lowered. The qualities of the split levels are therefore optimally used and this, in combination with the large windows, results in a play of light and level differences.
