架构师提供的文本描述。地块的特点一方面是它靠近陡峭的岩石斜坡的令人不安的位置，另一方面它的小深度和不寻常的纵向方向平行于街道。对于年轻的比利时建筑师来说，起点是附近一个前要塞的痕迹。主要的设计元素包括一个带有凹槽的上升部分的围护墙，谦逊而冷静的主住宅就会对其进行嵌套和调整。第二个浅层的体积，容纳了大量的存储空间，也位于墙后。

Text description provided by the architects. The plot's particularities are on the one hand its perturbing position close to a steep rock slope, and on the other hand its small depth and its unusual longitudinal orientation parallel to the street. Starting point for the young Belgian architects were traces of a nearby former stronghold. The main design element consists of an enclosing wall with a recessed rising part, to which the modest and sober main house nestles and adapts. A second shallow volume that houses a large number of storage spaces is also located behind the wall.

建筑师们选择了浅灰预制混凝土衬砌作为对瓦砾石的旧堡垒墙的重新解释。浆液渗出过程的起伏强化了其粗糙的性质。其余三个外墙都覆盖着深灰色纤维水泥板。不对称屋顶的特点是一个朝南的深邃的窗户。

The architects chose light grey precast concrete lintels as a reinterpretation of the old fortress walls of rubble stone. The relief of the oozing courses of grout reinforces its rough character. All three remaining facades are clad with dark grey fibre cement panels. The asymmetric roof features a deep-set window facing out to the south.

内部，一个分层次的组织对情节的倾斜地作出反应，强化了开放空间的概念，并赋予紧凑的建筑一个慷慨和宽敞的特征。用过的材料简单易用，裸露的预应力混凝土板、抛光的混凝土地板和混凝土厨房工作板都参照了建筑物的外部。

Inside, a split-level organization responds to the plot's sloping ground, intensifies the open space concept and gives the compact building a generous and spacious character. The used materials are deliberately kept simple and easy; the bare prestressed concrete slabs, the polished concrete flooring and the concrete kitchen worktop reference the building’s exterior.
