House Holman
By Durbach Block
« Sited on the edge of a seventy meter cliff, the plan of holman house refers to picassos painting -the bather. It contains a complex series of fluid living spaces set within a meandering perimeter that arcs folds and stretches in response to sun landscape and views. »
Grid House
The program in the grid is made up of a nucleus, with washing area, social area, guest room and the owner’s apartment, and three isolate modules, with two bedrooms each, for the children. Among these, the empty modules highlight the structural continuity and enhance the empty spaces where the garden can be seen. This empty and closed spaces game provides a fragmented organization of the program, protecting the privacy of the users and, at the same time, enabling an understanding of the building set as a cohesive unit.

Vault Room Renovation
By 51N4E
« The renovation of this small terraced house, along one of the « Reien » in the historical heart of Bruges, consists of reinterpreting the typical cramped back buildings as a spacious and generous lit winter garden.
The double-height space, enterily covered in timber planks, starts off as an arch wich gradually lifts asymmetrically towards the back, framing the tall tree of a neighboring garden. The old house is entirely renovated with partly new flooring and new colour schemes for facade, walls and ceilings. The custom made kitchen furniture with integrated fire place doubles as working area, becoming the new center of the house. »
