架构师提供的文本描述。这片狭小的斜坡和绿化的场地朝南，朝向布肯那一带，并不是佛兰德斯的典型地块。在过去，这一带似乎是一个住宅区，比利时人曾在那里建造他们各自的夏季住宅。当被要求在这个特定的地点建造一个新的宽敞的住宅时，AST 77面临着一个平房和扩建。建筑师们用现有的挡土墙来代替旧建筑。这所房子没有沿着街道的方向走，而是轻微地改变了它长长的正面的方向，而倾向于后面周边的方向。

Text description provided by the architects. The narrow sloping and afforested site, south faced towards the Beukenlaan, is not that typical Flanders plot.  In the past the neighbourhood seems to have been a residential recreation zone, where Belgians used to build their individual summer houses. When asked to build a new spacious residence on this particular site, AST77 was confronted with a bungalow and extension. Replacing the old buildings the architects made an intelligent use of the existing retaining wall. Rather than following the direction of the street, the house faintly changes the direction of its long front facade in favour of the direction of the perimeter at the back.

沿着前面长长的立面向入口处走去，人们会注意到房子的长度和狭窄程度。这座特殊的住宅长26.3米，宽4.5米，似乎部分挖入了地形的斜坡，但由于使用挡土墙，挖掘工作受到限制。随着它的屋顶沿着斜坡的地点，房屋的体积减少。外表是由生态竹竿垂直放置在黑色钢框架。结合周围的树木反射在玻璃，这创造了一个有趣的效果。

Walking on the slightly sloping path along the long front facade towards the entrance, one notices the length and narrowness of the house. The exceptional dwelling is 26.3 m long and only 4.5 m wide and seems to be partly dug into the slope of the terrain, be it that excavations were limited due to the use of the retaining wall. With its roof following the slope of the site, the volume of the house is reduced. The exterior is clad with ecological bamboo sticks vertically placed in black steel frames. In combination with the surrounding trees mirrored in the glazing, this creates an interesting effect.

入口位于地下通道，阳台可以俯瞰花园和森林。在右边有一个储藏室。在入口处的大门后面，房子展现了一个完全开放的空间。从接待处走到厨房，然后走到客厅和花园里。另一个“长廊建筑”带你到一些内向的房间，卧室和浴室。在书的中间和书中巧妙地放置了窗户，提供了对树冠的各种看法。在冬季，阳光可以通过街道对面的树木透过窗户提供被动的太阳增益，而在夏天，树木提供了天然的防晒霜。在不久的将来，将在房子前面种植新的树木，以取代一些在建筑过程中没有生存下来的树木。它们不仅能补充防晒霜，还能为街道提供额外的缓冲。

The entrance is situated in the underpass where a balcony offers a view towards the garden and forest. At the right side there is a storage. Behind the entrance door the house reveals an entirely open space. From the reception hall one can walk down towards the kitchen and afterwards to the living area and garden level. Another 'promenade architecturale' brings you to some introvert volumes with bedrooms and bathroom. Strategically placed windows in between and in the volumes provide various views on the tree crowns. During winter period sunlight is able to provide passive solar gain through the windows after passing through the trees on the opposite side of the street, while in summer the trees provides a natural sunscreen. In the near future new trees will be planted in front of the house to replace some trees which did not survive during construction. Not only will they provide a supplementary sunscreen but also an extra buffer towards the street.

地窖内设有净化水和恢复雨水的设施，并提供通往花园的通道。热泵，地板采暖，广泛的绝缘，通风系统和它的有利方向，使该房屋成为可持续和有效的低能住宅。

The cellar houses the installations for water cleansing and recuperation of rain and offers access to the garden. A heat pump, floor heating, extensive insulation, a ventilation system and its favourable orientation make this house a sustainable and effective low energy house.
