Article source: FORMa* The building zone is situated at 5 meters distance of the lateral limits. On the street side, it’s aligned on the advanced parts of the houses on the west. Its depth is 15 meters. The Garden is oriented at the north-northeast. Designed on the basis of the volumetric language and templates already present in the « Champ », the houses merge very well in the characteristic built environment of the « Champ des Mottes ».

The project benefits from a high quality environment. It’s conceived to take profit of the positive aspects of the parcel: environmental frame, garden, views, vegetation and natural daylight.  Image Courtesy © Georges De Kinder  Image Courtesy © Georges De Kinder The houses offer large openings on the garden side and are turned to the south in order to let the sun penetrate generously. With this purpose, a part of the building is scooped out to create a patio, as a south-oriented part of the garden.  Image Courtesy © Georges De Kinder  Image Courtesy © Georges De Kinder The patio is a light receptacle. It invites, punctuates the entry and creates a pleasant distance between public space and home. Located below, it turns part of the basement into habitable space, which can be used according to the residents needs. The four houses are all unique, interpreting the same ideas in a different way.

Combined with the variable backside facade plans, it reduces the building depth and creates a visual together of alternating volumes and depths. The partly reducing of the building depth allows creating traversing living rooms combining environmental views, sunlight and direct contact with the garden.

The volumetric result is offering visual dynamism and permeability to the whole, dialoguing with the environing buildings of the « Champ des Mottes ».

Our studio is situated in Brussels (Uccle). We prone an organic approach of the architectural process in which the project is conceived by the encounter of a building owner, a location and… an architect. The final design is the result of a sincere and profound relationship between these three actors.  Image Courtesy © Georges De Kinder  Image Courtesy © Georges De Kinder Listening and observing, trying to understand, in the same time objectively analysing the needs, the desires, the constraints and the potential; we make the project grow into maturity. Our volumetric language is contemporary and timeless, always pursuing the relevance of the intervention.

Aiming at the essential permits us to offer a generous architecture, whatever the scale, the budget or the affectation of the project are.
