架构师提供的文本描述。这座房产位于地块的背面，最初由一座典型的老农舍和一座从90年代延伸而来的建筑组成，有着独特的建筑：一个完全玻璃化的正面，平面呈弧形，屋顶由几个平行的较小的屋顶组成。这两种建筑类型的冲突是一件奇怪的事情。这所房子对居民来说太小了，所以需要一个额外的卧室、浴室，如果可行的话，还需要一个封闭的门厅。

Text description provided by the architects. The property is situated at the back on the plot and originally consisted of a typical old farmhouse and an extension dating from the 90s, with a distinct architecture: a fully glazed facade, with a curved shape in plan, with a roof which consists of several parallel smaller roofs. The clash of these two building typologies is a strange thing. This house had become too small for the residents, so there was a need for an extra bedroom, bathroom and if feasible also an enclosed entrance hall.

老农舍被重新安排了时间，为了不干扰居民的日常生活，除了现有的建筑物外，还选择建造新的扩建工程。与扩建的连接是通过旧农舍一楼的新的多用途房进行的。

The old farm house was rescheduled, and in order to not interfere with the daily routine of the residents there's been chosen to erect the new expansion besides the existing buildings. The connection with the expansion was made via the new multipurpose room on the first floor of the old farmhouse.

新扩建的建筑加强了现有建筑的模糊性，因为没有寻找尽可能与现有建筑相匹配的解决方案，而是选择了赋予新建筑体积强大和个性化的解决方案。新的建筑体积似乎已经降落或冲上现场，作为一种复古未来主义的胶囊，谁也无法确定的起源。这个胶囊并不是指一个建筑时代，而是让人想起朱尔斯·凡尔纳(Jules Verne)或漫画家皮特斯(Peeters)和舒登(Schuiten)如此完美地回忆起的世界的功绩：科幻小说和怀旧的混合物。

The architecture of the new extension reinforces the ambiguous character of the existing buildings, because instead of searching a solution that matches as closely as possible the existing buildings, there's been chosen to give the new building volume a strong and personal character. The new building volume seems to have landed or washed up on the site, as a sort of retro-futuristic capsule which one can not determine the origin. This capsule does not refer to an era in architecture, but is reminiscent of the exploits of Jules Verne or the world who cartoonists Peeters and Schuiten recall so perfectly: a cocktail of science fiction and nostalgia.

外表面涂上铜，外部的怪诞气氛在浴室被翻译成一种白色聚酯驾驶舱。卧室和露台就在浴室旁边，就像一艘(太空)飞船上的一间套房。

The exterior was coated with copper, and the quirky atmosphere of the exterior has been translated in the bathroom, which is designed as a kind of cockpit in white polyester. The bedroom and the terrace are situated next to the bathroom, like a suite in a (space) ship.

新底层图则

一个新的入口位于新卷的肚子下面，因为原来的入口直接进入了生活空间。这个玻璃卷是90年代改造的延续，无论在设计上还是在材料上：绿色的90年代釉面被简单地延伸开来，在入口、浴室和客厅旁边形成了一个小露台。在入口处，也自然形成了一个有盖的露台。

A new entrance is situated under the belly of the new volume, because originaly one entered directly into the living space. This glazed volume is a continuation of the 90s renovation, both in design and in terms of materials: The green glazed 90s facade is simply extended, causing a small patio next to the entrance, bathroom and livingroom. Next to the entrance there also naturally develops a covered terrace.

乍一看，结果似乎有点奇怪，但同时也很明显。很难把它放在一个特定的风格或类别，以确保这房子将经得起时间的考验。

At first sight the result seems a little bit odd, but at the same time it is also very obvious. It's quite difficult to place it into a particular style or category, which ensures this house will withstand the test of time.
