Four massive stone walls structure all the interior and exterior living spaces of this dwelling. Relatively closed on the access side, the spaces open up completely on the garden side.A minimalist glazed seam creates a set of outdoor covered areas for sun protection and terraces. Caption Caption All the elements accompanying the natural stone are treated in raw steel both inside (wall coverings, stairs, windows, wood-burning fireplace, …) and outside (wall coverings, …). A totally wooden "hat" contains the night spaces. The perforated cladding work perfectly integrates all the architectural elements (facing, roofing, cornices, chimney, etc.). The terraces are carefully integrated into the mass. Caption Capt... More

The renewal plan puts emphasis on the integration of green and the connection to adjacent green structures in the area. Compact blocks of 3 houses are positioned in such a way that space for compact public squares is created along the Klimopstraat.The first housing block has a somewhat different status and is addressing the central park. This is our robust answer to the relationship of these houses and the central park in the plan. Milena Villalba Woonwerk Architecten Woonwerk Architecten More

A wide ecological public area, as a start for developmentThe base for the development of Ter Heidelaan is the combination of a clear and powerful new public space with compact, sustainable houses. In this new system, a hierarchy in outdoor space, provides different typologies. The new lane is the fundament for the design, a connecting element between the Liersesteenweg and the sidewalk on the east side. The roadway is asymmetrical, this creates a wide lane with green space on the sides. A space for trees, water and green. On the north side, 2 courtyards are linked to the lane.

Some upcoming changes adjacent to the Impasse des Moineaux ask for a intelligent approach for the sustainable (re)development of this inner area on Rue Gray. Cleaning up the dirty soil, the necessity for affordable housing and an access to the research center for urban green make the transformation necessary. The informal green atmosphere that determines the quality of the existing vegetable garden defines the conditions for the re-design of this un-urban place right in the center of Brussels. Precisely by seeking to maximize the influence of the garden we avoid a fragmentation of the garden. All other elements are designed as ‘objects in the garden’. Caption Caption Caption More

The ‘Schuurblok’ concept is based on maximum quality for both ‘your own home’ as well as for the public space. On the one hand, Schuurblok presents itself as a block in the heart of the new area whose scale is related to the scale of the public space and the new neighborhood garden. On the other hand the project refers to the ‘grain’ of the individual family houses in the area. This way we obtain an image in which the appearance of the whole and the expression of the individual house are reflected equally in the general image of the project. Klaas Verdu Caption Caption More
