The ability to build on an open piece of land, surrounded by forest and open space, is becoming rare and highly appreciated in Belgium’s urban reality. Having sports as a professional occupation and favourite pastime, building a dwelling, working, and hobby space in such an environment was a wonderful opportunity for this client.
在比利时的城市现实中，在一块被森林和开放空间包围的开放土地上建造的能力正在变得非常罕见和高度赞赏。拥有体育作为职业职业和最喜欢的消遣，在这样的环境中建造住所、工作和业余爱好空间是这个客户的一个极好的机会。

At first sight, the house appears to be a two-storey villa containing the usual dwelling spaces. The ground floor level is formed by a longitudinal axis, connecting different living spaces in an open plan. Along this line, access is given to an elevator and two staircases leading to the separated night zones of parents and children on the upper floor. Having a closer look at the plan, one discovers an entire underground level organised and furnished as a private fitness and wellness area. A sunken courtyard allows daylight to enter. From here, a large staircase leads to the garden and swimming pool.
乍一看，房子看起来是一栋两层别墅，里面有通常的居住空间。地面层由纵向轴线形成，在开放平面中连接不同的生活空间。沿着这条线路，进入电梯和两个楼梯，通向上层的父母和孩子的分隔的夜间区域。在仔细查看该计划后，我们发现了一个整体的地下级别，并提供了一个私人健身和健身区。Sunken庭院允许日光进入。从这里，一个大楼梯通向花园和游泳池。

The house is characterised by a dual identity. On the one hand, its formal expression has a flair of modernity expressed by the slim detailed roof edge, large glass windows rimmed by steel frames, and prefabricated concrete façade slabs. On the other hand, the interior of the house refers to tradition without being classical or loosing its contemporary design. Wooden wall panelling and native burnt blue stone floors, combined with two fireplaces, contribute to a homelike atmosphere. A large patio, closed towards the main entrance and street, provides the necessary privacy indispensable in the kitchen and breakfast area, in the mean time allows the morning sun to enter at the breakfast table. This juxtaposition of the traditional and the modern, the welcoming warmth of the interior and distant cold of the exterior, is a reflection of the individual and private needs of the client on one side, a translation of the clients public representation on the other side.
这所房子的特点是双重身份。一方面，它的形式表现出一种现代性的气质，表现为细细的屋顶边缘，由钢框架围成的大玻璃窗，以及预制的混凝土墙面板。另一方面，房子的内部是指传统，而不是古典或失去其当代设计。木墙板和土生土长的蓝宝石地板，再加上两个壁炉，营造出一种家一般的气氛。靠近正门和街道的大露台提供了厨房和早餐区必不可少的隐私，同时允许早晨的阳光进入早餐桌。这种传统与现代的并存，内部的热情欢迎，外部的冷漠，是客户个人和私人需求的一面反映，另一面是客户公共代表的翻译。
