狭窄的黑暗门面，一排简单的房子–没有任何东西表明这个门面背后隐藏着任何空间感。转动一下古老的门铃，门很快就被打开了。你立即与一堵粗糙的木板墙和欢迎我的Tijl面对面站着。通过墙上的一扇门，我进入了一间木制的房子。一座房子中的房子。建筑物提供了漂亮的视野。这只是第一个惊喜。然后，房子向上开到山脊上，光线透过不同的窗户照射进来。一楼的生活空间以花园为中心，后部有一个全宽的窗户。
A narrow dark facade, a simple house in the row – nothing suggests any sense of space which hides behind this facade. A twist on the ancient doorbell and the door swings open shortly afterwards. Immediately you stand face to face with a wall of rough wooden planks and Tijl who welcomes me. Through a door in the wall I enter a wooden house. A house in a house. The construction delivers handsome vistas. This is only the first surprise. The house then opens upwards to the ridge where the light shines through different windows. The living space on the groundfloor focuses on the garden with a window over the full width of the rear.
“为什么是房中房？在第一稿中，我们还曾在房子后面画了一个房子。原来的想法是在一个地块上建三栋房子，但这个想法被城市化部门遇到了。所以我们开始寻找另一种屋顶形状。这个地块有一个奇特的形状，里面有一个转折点，所以我们决定沿着这个转折点。建筑师说：”通过将后窗放置在弯曲处一米之外并与花园垂直，你可以在室内感受到这种独特的形式。Tijl和Indra希望起居室能够非常开放，并靠近花园。流通室、厨房、卧室和浴室在房子里被赋予了一个位置。在入口处，有一个在这个木制建筑中提供的储藏室。方便自行车和垃圾。在墙本身有一个为洗衣机设计的存储空间，所以它是一个功能元素。
“Why a house in a house? In the first draft we also had drawn a house behind the house. The original idea was to build three houses on one plot, but this idea was encountered by the department of urbanism. So we started looking for another roof shape. The plot has a peculiar shape with a kink in it, so we decided to follow that kink. By placing the rear window one meter beyond the kink and perpendicular to the garden, you feel that unique form in the interior” says the architect. Tijl and Indra wanted the living room to be very open and close to the garden. Circulation room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were given a place in the house in the house. In the entrance there’s a storage provided in this timber construction. Convenient to bicycles and trash. In the wall itself there’s a storage space designed for the washing machine, so that it is a functional element.
“当你在联排别墅上加一个后楼时，你总是有一个问题，那就是在房子的中间非常黑暗。通过拿掉一块天花板，可以实现对内部的额外照明。这样，一楼的窗户就可以看到了。然后我们去寻找一个很好的开放空间的解释。为了创造一个熟悉和令人愉快的形状，我们选择了用它来做房子 “建筑师说。这座房子是由粗糙的木板建成的，突出了正式的特征。这种木板在住宅中是一种奇怪而不寻常的材料。通过选择一种不太日常的材料，人们不会把它与背后的厨房联系起来。它本身就是一个物体。它是一个物体，但也是一个真正的房子。当你在它旁边的桌子坐下时，你会感觉到你是在门面旁边的一个内部露台上。在第一个门窗口后面是厨房。因为厨房有些高，所以给人一种不同的感觉。此外，你可以在做饭时保持联系，这很好，对Tijl说。从顶部的门洞滑出一个白色的金属楼梯。楼梯的游戏贯穿整个空间，提供了一个独特的景象。有点像荷兰艺术家埃舍尔，马丁建议。埃舍尔以其经常不可能的构造和交配的表面和几何图案而闻名。
“When you ad a rear building to a townhouse, you always have the problem that it is very dark in the middle of the house. By taking away a piece of the ceiling, additional light to the inside could be achieved. Thus, the window on the first floor is visible. We then went looking for a nice interpretation of open space. To create a familiar and pleasant shape, we have chosen to make a house out of it” said the architect. The house is built of rough wooden planks that accentuate the formal character. That planking is a strange and unusual material in a home. By choosing a less everyday material one doesn’t make the association with the kitchen behind it. It is an object in itself. It is an object but also a real house. When you sit down at the table next to it, you get the feeling that you are on an inside terrace next to a facade. Behind the first door and window opening there’s the kitchen. Because the kitchen is somewhat higher, it gives a different feeling. Moreover, it is nice that you can keep in touch while cooking, to says Tijl. From the doorway at the top slides a white metal staircase. The game of stairs through the space, providing a unique sight. A bit like the Dutch artist Escher, Martin suggests. Escher is known for his often impossible constructions and mating surfaces and geometric patterns.
有一个窗户口有一个突出的木碗，像一个小阳台。缺少的也许只是一些花盆？”会有照顾的”，Tijl向我们保证。木制的阳台实际上是一张桌子。一个非常好的坐处。从这个有利位置，你可以看到楼下的开放式阁楼、厨房和客厅，而且–根据地块的形状–你可以看到后花园。因此，你与每个人都保持联系。”以后我们会把屋顶变成一个绿色的屋顶花园，它已经从这里开始了。我们已经把我们的爱好室改造成了一个托儿所，因为我们刚刚有了我们的第一个孩子”。Tijl和Indra的卧室就位于屋顶下。在卧室里，你会再次感受到家的感觉。在这里，建筑师再次对可用空间进行了思考。一个Velux窗提供了光线，并为下面的浴缸提供了额外的空间。在一个小高处的后面是淋浴间。在顶部的一个灯箱为底部提供了额外的光线。我们了解到，天顶的光线比通过窗户的光线要强烈得多。
There’s a window opening with a protruding wooden bowl, like a small balcony. Missing perhaps only some planters? “There will be taken care of”, Tijl ensured us. The wooden balcony is actually a desk. A very nice place to sit. From this vantage point you have a view of both the open loft with downstairs the kitchen and the living room and – by the shape of the plot – you have sight of the rear garden. So you stay connected with everyone. “Later we’ll turn the roof into a green roof garden that already begins from here. We have transformed our hobby room into a nursery because we’ve just had our first child“. The bedroom of Tijl and Indra is situated under the roof. Again you get the feeling of a home in the bedroom. Here was the architect again puzzling with the available space. A Velux window providing light and extra space for the bath underneath. Behind a little elevated area is the shower. A light box right at the top provides extra light to the bottom. Zenithal light is much more intense than light through a window, we learn.
建筑师Maarten Vanbelle是Tijl的老乡。他们彼此相识多年。Maarten和Dries Vens一起绘制了设计图，Tijl代表他进行了装修。整个装修工作持续了4.5年。”这是这所房子的一点大故事。除了屋顶、抛光混凝土地板和大窗户的开发，我几乎自己完成了所有的工作。我在这里呆着，甚至在装修期间也是如此。与Maarten一起工作是非常愉快的。我之前住的房子，是一个相当经典的装修，”Tijl说。”对于一个建筑师来说，看到你的设计，你在其中投入了大量的时间，之后被完成并以一种有趣的方式使用，也是很好的。家具的选择对你居住的氛围非常重要。房子里的过渡对我们来说非常重要。你走的每一步都应该是不同的。当站在空旷的地方，你会有一种非常通风的感觉。你不断倾向于抬头看。再往前走一点，你的目光就会自动转向花园的方向。”
Architect Maarten Vanbelle is a fellow villager of Tijl. They have known each other for years. Maarten drew the design together with Dries Vens and Tijl took the renovation on his behalf. The entire renovation lasted 4.5 years. “This is a bit of the big story of this house. I have practically done everything myself except the roof, the floor in polished concrete and the development of the large window. I was here to stay, even during the renovations. It was very nice to work with Maarten. The previous house where I lived, was rather a classic renovation, “says Tijl. “For an architect it’s also nice to see that your design, in which you inserted a lot of time, afterwards gets completed and used in a fun way. The choice of furniture is very important for the atmosphere that you live in. The transitions in a house are very important to us. Every step you take should be different. When standing in the void, you get a very airy feel. You constantly tend to look up. A little bit further your gaze automatically gets turned towards the garden. ”
Tijl对美丽的家具有一种热情。他称这是他的半个爱好。”这一下子变成了一种痴迷，然后你就开始做选择。这不是所有的便宜，在你知道你的房子变得拥挤之前。楼下的生活区被完美地布置了。你需要给自己时间在这件事上做一些事情。Indra也是一名建筑师，她向我介绍了根特的家具Van den Berghe – Pauvers。我们在停止的时候买了客厅的这些柜子，所以我们可以做一个真正的便宜货。60年代的柚木框架的沙龙–从英德拉的祖父那里得到的–是丹麦设计师格雷特-贾克的设计。在木桌周围，我们放置了阿纳-雅克布森（Fritz Hansen）的蝴蝶椅和可爱的白色椅子–“日本建筑师塞吉玛（Sanaa）建筑公司的’兔子椅’。” 橱柜在这所房子里很难找到。书籍和记录被分类放在客厅的一个大型开放式书架上。在厨房和其他房间里，还有更多的架子，即 “String “的金属架子，其原始颜色为黄色、红色和蓝色。转盘带来了更多的怀旧情绪。如此惬意，很久以前，针在唱片的凹槽中运行时发出的吱吱声是什么。装饰和设计，图片是完全正确的。
Tijl has a passion for beautiful furniture. He calls it his half hobby. “At once this became an obsession and then you begin to make choices. It’s not all that cheap and before you know your house gets crowded. The living area downstairs is perfectly furnished. You need to give yourself time to do something in this matter. Indra also is an architect and she introduced me to the Ghent furniture Van den Berghe – Pauvers. We’ve bought these cabinets in the living roomat the cessation, so we could do a real bargain. The salon of the ’60s with teak frame – got from the grandfather of Indra – is a design by Danish designer Grete Jalk. Around the wooden table we’ve placed butterfly chairs by Arne Jacobsen (Fritz Hansen) and the lovely white chair the ‘Rabbit Chair “of the Japanese architect Sejima of the architecture firm Sanaa.” Cabinets are hard to find in this house. Books and records are sorted on a large open shelf in the living room. In the kitchen and other rooms there are even more racks, namely the metal racks of ‘String’ in the original colors yellow, red and blue. The turntable brings even more nostalgia. So cozy, and what is it long ago that creaking sound of a needle running in the grooves of a record. Decor and design, the picture is correct completely.
