Text description provided by the architects. The municipality of Wemmel , situated on the outskirts of Brussels, is well known for its green areas with their monumental villas of the upper class. After a search of several years, the principal saw a house situated in one of those quarters. It was not his dream house but because of its marvellous location and the south orientated garden, he decided to buy it.

DMVA受命将这座相当古典的房子改造成一座当代的大厦。说得很快就做了，但邻居也必须批准这项设计，才能获得建筑条例规定的建筑许可证，这对设计产生了很大的影响。因此，对现有的房子没有完全的“变质”，只是小的干预。现有房屋的外墙漆成白色。室内用黑白两色装饰，游泳池被翻新，并用一堵有照明玻璃的挡土墙构成框架。最后，增加了两个雕塑白色卷连接内外，连接房子，游泳池和花园。

dmvA was commissioned to turn the rather classical house into a contemporary edifice.  No sooner said than done, but the fact that also the neighbours had to approve the design to get a building license, as prescribed in the building regulations, had a great impact on the design.  So no total ‘methamorphosis’ of the existing house, just small interventions.  The façades of the existing house were painted white . The interior was furnished in black and white.  The swimming pool was renovated and framed by an illuminating glazed ‘retaining wall. Finally, two sculptural white volumes were added connecting inside and outside, linking house, pool and garden.
