Bunga Low – low energy refurbishment of a sixties bungalow in Sint-Denijs-Westrem, Belgium by urbain architectencollectiefJanuary 22nd, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: urbain architectencollectief In this project a solitary sixties bungalow with a gentle sloped roof was refurbished and extended. A new clear plan was distilled from the existing, with a maximum relation with the garden. The existing rooms on the northern facade of the bungalow were adjusted in order to form a functional strip, serving as entrance hall, bathroom, storage rooms and a private office space. The living spaces were aligned in an open space along the southern facade, benefiting from large windows that give acces to morning and afternoon terraces and the garden. Two furniture elements divide the open space: a fireplace and a kitchen cabinet.  Image Courtesy © Filip Dujardin

On top of the bedrooms a volume is added with a master bedroom, a bathroom and a dressing. This crow’s nest is reached through an open staircase in the living room.

The span is reduced by introducing a new central bearing line, by means of a steel profile, resting on two tender steel columns.

By preserving the existing isolated cavity wall, deep window bays are created, with windows reaching to the floor level. In the detailling of the cladding facade horizontal joints were introduced in a well-balanced composition.
