架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑位于Gent市中心一所现有房屋的后院。隐藏的地方是一个非常有趣和令人兴奋的地区，因为它周围是大学建筑，老塔，大教堂，甚至著名的‘Boekentoren’亨利范德维尔德。这是一个真正的秘密花园！

Text description provided by the architects. The building is situated in the backyard of an existing house in the center of Gent. The hidden place is a very interesting and exciting area because it is surrounded by university buildings,  old towers, a Cathedral and even the famous ‘Boekentoren’ of Henry Vandevelde. It is a real secret garden !

业主们想要建造一座有很多玻璃的房子，以便能看到花园的开阔景色，但他们也想要一种温暖的感觉：舒适的家庭住宅。结果就是“舒适的玻璃房子”。建筑师用木制的柱子和巨大的玻璃表面建造了一个结构。垂直板和水平板的组成使建筑物具有永恒和平静的特征。

The owners wanted to build a house with a lot of glass to have a open view on the garden but  they also wanted a warm feeling : a cosy family house.  the result is the ‘cosy glass house’. The architect created a structure with a grid of wooden columns and large glass surfaces.  The composition of the vertical and horizontal slabs gives the building a timeless and calm character .

具体的梯田结构(作为室内的延伸)与旧园不同层次的沟通，使建筑与环境完美地结合在一起。晚上，当所有的灯都亮了，大楼就变成了电影场景，可能位于加州或洛杉矶。这座建筑物变成了一个轻的物体。

The concrete terrace structure (as an extension of the interior)  communicates with the different levels in the old garden and makes the building  perfectly integrated in the environment. At night, when all the lights are up, the building is changing into a movie set and could be located in California or los Angeles. The building becomes a light object.

通过使用不同的层次和高度，一楼的空间具有不同的特征。厨房被设想成一个大的多功能空间。客厅和餐厅的角落，与综合长椅，是位于中央火灾的地方。这间私密的媒体室位于前地堡内。

By using  different levels and heights, the spaces on the first floor have different characters. The kitchen is conceived as a large multifunctional space. The living room and dining corner, with integrated benches, are situated around the central fire place. The intimate media room is located in a former bunker volume.

橡木、木地板、地毯、塔德拉克、水泥休养砖、…等材料的精致组合给室内一种温暖的感觉。玻璃卧室和浴室位于二楼，与中央壁橱间相连。从这些房间(与底层相同的特征)看，花园、屋顶花园和环境的景色更加强烈。

The tasteful combination of materials  like oak, wooden floors, carpet, tadelakt, cemented recuperated bricks,… gives the interior a warm feeling. The glazed bedrooms and bathrooms are situated on the second floor  and are connected with a central closet-room. From these rooms (with the same character as the ground floor) the views on the garden, roof-gardens and environment are even more intense.

基础建设：由于新卷的位置被封闭的建筑体积所包围，我们不能使用传统的建筑方式。把所有的材料，如钢铁，木材，玻璃，在高高的，现有的建筑，并把所有的东西放在一起，像一个麦卡诺在现场是唯一的解决办法。

The basic construction : because the location of the new volume is surrounded by closed building volumes we could not use a traditional way of building.  Lifting all the materials like steel, wood, glass over the high, existing building and putting everything together like a mecanoo on site was the only solution .

所有细节，如基本结构，窗户，家具，门把手，沙发，…由StevenVandenborre建筑师精心设计，并赋予该项目一个独特的特征。

All the details like the basic structure, windows,  furniture, door handles, sofas,… are  carefully designed by Steven Vandenborre architects and gives the project a unique character.
