House Battlefield in Tienen, Belgium by guerrilla office architects

At the edge of a rural town lies a vacant plot, overlooking a small valley where there used to be a battlefield in the 17th Century. the new house tries not to block the views of the passers-by: all walls are placed in the direction of the valley, so that all the views stay unblocked.
At the center of the house is a hole, turned into a patio. the house whirls up like a snake on itself. all floors lead to the next level : there are no inside walls. every space had views throughout the house in a way that everything stays connected.
Materials try to blend the house in its surroundings : often there is a grey fog coming from the valley. the house is built in grey concrete, grey clay stone and old Barnwood. from far away the light grey volume blends, but on its approach the different materials and textures appear.
