MK House is a recently renovated heritage-listed townhouse from the early 1800’s located in the historic centre of Antwerp. The house was designed by Brussels-based Nicolas Schuybroek Architects.

MK豪宅是一座新近翻新的文物联排别墅，建于19世纪初，位于历史悠久的安特卫普市中心。这座房子是由布鲁塞尔的尼古拉斯·舒布鲁克建筑师设计的。

From the architect: In the historic city center of Antwerp, we thoroughly renovated this listed house from the early 1800’s characterized by an unusually large graphical black and white facade. Although the original house was charming and nicely proportioned, yet it was dark and the disposition of the rooms lacked coherence.

建筑师：在历史悠久的安特卫普市中心，我们从19世纪初开始对这座房子进行了彻底的翻新，其特点是一个不同寻常的巨大的黑白相间的外观。虽然原来的房子很迷人，比例也很匀称，但却是漆黑的，房间的布置也缺乏连贯性。

A great deal of time was spent on the architectural part of the house: re imaging circulations, volumes, connections between spaces and most importantly, introducing natural light. Our goal was to create a timeless, warm-minimalist and elegant house in tune with it’s past and the clients needs.

大量的时间花在房子的建筑部分：重新成像循环，体积，空间之间的联系，最重要的是引入自然光。我们的目标是创造一个永恒，温暖，极简和优雅的房子，与它的过去和客户的需要。

The notion of apparent simplicity became a key design element in this project: it was about reinventing a certain type of minimalism and sophistication where the light, volumes and proportions would be as important as the refined interior details and materials. The monastic appearance of the house is lifted by the raw textures: the wooden beam ceiling, distressed chevron oak floors, honed marble and a beautifully balanced collection of mid-century furniture pieces.

表面简单的概念成为这个项目的一个关键设计元素：它是关于重新创造一种极简主义和复杂的风格，在那里，光、体积和比例将与精致的内部细节和材料一样重要。修道院的外观是由原始的纹理：木梁天花板，痛苦的雪佛龙橡木地板，磨练的大理石和一个美丽的平衡收集中世纪家具件。
