A touch of M.C. Escher, co-housing in a town house
The staircase between the first and second floors in a large town house have made way for a new staircase that leads directly to the second floor. The wood-covered staircase is a readable sculptural addition that makes it possible to divide up the large house while preserving the typically large spaces of the town house. An additional staircase added later leads to the communal undergroundspaces. The existing staircase between floors 0 and 1 is part of residence 1,that between floors 2 and 3 part of residence 2.

Red Flowing Into Abstract White, House, Gijzenzele
The abstract reconstruction of a dilapidated barn provides the required inward expansion of the main house. The new living spaces in red wood flow into the barn and open up the main house onto the garden. As in the past, arches add rhythm to the abstract volume, and a covered terrace connects the interior courtyard with the rear garden. The stable was renovated with visible concrete additions and serves as a storage area, but an inward expansion of the farm will also be possible in the future with a guest room.
