Text description provided by architect.

The aim of the project was to create a spacious family house in the village of Haacht.

The orientation and the narrow plot lead a plan L-shaped around a terrace overlooking the street.

The living spaces, located on the ground floor, consist of a large living room and a kitchen in its purest form : a large work table of 8m long, holding its opening on the street.

The upper floor is organized along a corridor enlighten by detailed skylights. A skin of wood covered the ground creating a unity and a contrast with the white walls.

The mass of the envelope made of dark brick highlights the fragility of the windows.
