House KB in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium by a154 architecten

The Concept

The existing house does not meet the energy requirements of the client and will therefore be demolished. Furthermore, the plot is wide and large enough for compaction: the realization of two semi-detached houses will be made possible.

Both buildings are solid-passive and together form one homogenous building. They use the mass of the supporting structure to regulate the temperature of the interior climate. Passive solar gains are obtained due to exact insertion of the window openings.

L’Autre Vie in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium by Juma architects

JUMA was asked to accommodate a restaurant in an Art Deco house. Although the exterior suggests otherwise, there were only a few elements that were worth saving in the interior. Only the monumental wooden staircase with a beautifully coloured stained-glass window above it, reflect the grandeur that this property once offered. First a number of walls were taken down to create larger spaces. An opening was created from the entrance hall to the kitchen so that visitors have a direct view of chef Maxence Sys at work.

VILLA BRAECKMAN-STAELS and GARDEN COTTAGE in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium by De Smet Vermeulen architecten

PASTORAL MEMORIES, revisited

The opposition between cities and countryside in Flanders has increasingly become a mental rather than a physical one. A long-standing anti-urban policy has led to a thorough contamination – i.e. urbanization – of the Flemish countryside. Multiple networks connect locations irrespective of their urban or rural status, enabling ever more frequent movements, eroding physical boundaries, merging it all into a semi-urban pattern we call the Nebular City. Inside this Nebular City, rurality has become less a fact than a choice, less a self-evident tradition than a mental construction. It is the architect’s task to design this mental construction.
