The former forge and carpentry became the scene for a new home. Some of the existing shed roofs are teared down, some parts remain. Similarly, part of the concrete flooring is kept and partdemolished.  Image Courtesy © Stijn Bollaert

As a result, a south oriented beam shaped volume absorbs the confrontation between two complementary outdoor spaces: a walled garden and a workplace.  Image Courtesy © Stijn Bollaert The house is designed as a transparent filter between these front and back areas: the classical principle where glazing is movable and walls are fixed is inverted. Opening a door has an immediate impact on the spatial constellation. Even the division between front and back façade becomes ambiguous. Three containers are placed at strategic locations on the street side.Foreconomical benefit, these compact steel prefabricated modules are used as winter entry and storage, perpendicular to the house, and as a B&B high above the entrance gate.
