For the thorough renovation of an old farm, JUMA architects set out in search of the perfect balance between old and new. In its previous state, the house – which did have a cosy feel – was entirely lacking in terms of spaciousness, light and vision. To remedy this, the new design planned for a huge window opening in the rear elevation that would create a view on the beautiful garden and at the same time draw in plenty of natural light. The new joinery clearly distinguishes itself from the existing window openings through the use of a black, simple framework, eliminating all possible confusion about which parts are authentic, and which are not. The existing mezzanine and the access to the wine cellar were also demolished to create a large open-space kitchen with an eye-catching island finished in natural stone. The traditional range fits perfectly with the farmhouse style and inspired us to execute the entire worktop in maintenance-friendly stainless steel. A shelf, also executed in natural stone and fitted with indirect track lighting, is placed above the range. The cabinet fronts finished in oak veneer give the kitchen a warm atmosphere. The space that used to house the kitchen was made into a small desk area, which also doubles as an informal second entrance, mainly used by the family. The old kitchen space now also houses a cool storeroom.
为了彻底改造一个老农场，朱玛的建筑师们开始寻找新旧之间的完美平衡。在以前的状态下，这座房子-它确实有一种舒适的感觉-在空间、光线和视觉方面都完全缺乏。为了弥补这一点，新的设计计划在后面的高度打开一个巨大的窗户，这将创造一个美丽的花园的景观，同时吸引大量的自然光。新细木工通过使用黑色的、简单的框架，清晰地区别于现有的窗口开口，消除了所有可能的混淆，哪些部分是真实的，哪些不是。现有的阁楼和进入酒窖的通道也被拆除，以创造一个巨大的开放空间厨房，一个引人注目的岛屿完成了天然的石头。传统的范围完全符合农舍的风格，并激励我们执行整个工作桌面在维护友好的不锈钢。一个架子，也执行天然石头和安装间接轨道照明，被放置在范围以上。橱柜前面用橡木制成，给厨房带来了温暖的气氛。用来容纳厨房的空间被做成了一个小书桌区，这也是一个非正式的第二入口，主要由家庭使用。旧的厨房空间现在也有一个凉爽的储藏室。

Next to the dining room is the fully renovated staircase. A special tier-shaped storage closet runs along the stairway. Its height follows the flow of the stairs and increases every 3 steps. Here too, it was the desire to keep the space as open as possible that inspired the design of this stairway/closet. Yet there was also a practical reason. The open character of the staircase makes it possible to simply and easily move larger pieces of furniture to the upper floor.
餐厅旁边是装修过的楼梯。在楼梯上有一个特殊的层叠式储藏室.它的高度跟随楼梯的流动，每3步增加一次。在这里，也是希望保持空间尽可能开放，这启发了这个楼梯/壁橱的设计。然而，也有一个实际的原因。楼梯的开放性使得将更大的家具搬到上层成为可能。

The sitting area further features a large wall closet, in which books and personal items can be exhibited. These small trinkets turn the house into a real home. The valuable elements, such as the impressive fireplace, were retained. The old heavy beams were sandblasted so as to accentuate their character while the rest of the wooden ceiling was painted white to contrast the new dark polished concrete floor (with underfloor heating). Together, the purposeful and precisely lined-out design and the subtle uses of colours and materials turn the house into a much more tranquil space, and bring out the great charm of the fireplace. Given the many wooden ceiling beams, the choice of light fixtures was rather limited. For the kitchen island we opted for a fine suspension track light that casts ample light on the countertop. The client had specific wishes with regard to the lamp above the dining table. It had to be very flexible and adapt to the number of guests and the table arrangement. JUMA architects opted for a combination of three lamps that can either be hung together in a beautiful whole or be pulled apart to illuminate a larger area in the event of a party. In terms of general lighting, we opted for discreet white directional spotlights. Pictures © Annick Vernimmen
休息区还具有一个大的壁柜，可以展示书籍和个人物品。这些小饰品把房子变成了一个真正的家。有价值的元素，如令人印象深刻的壁炉被保留下来。旧的重梁被喷砂处理，以突出其特征，而其余的木质天花板被漆成白色，以对比新的暗抛光的混凝土地板(具有地板下加热)。在一起，有目的和精确地排列的设计以及色彩和材料的微妙使用使房子变成了更加宁静的空间，并带来了壁炉的巨大魅力。考虑到许多木制天花板梁，灯具的选择相当有限。对于厨房岛，我们选择了一个精细的悬浮轨道灯，在工作台面上投射充足的光。客户对餐桌上方的灯具有特定的愿望。它必须非常灵活，可以适应客人的数量和桌子的安排。Juma建筑师选择了三个灯的组合，这些灯可以在一个美丽的整体上悬挂在一起，或者被拉开，以便在一个聚会的情况下照亮更大的区域。就一般照明而言，我们选择了谨慎的白色定向聚光灯。图片(C)AnnickVernimen
