Architecture Bureau Bart Dehane
House, Desselgem, Belgium, 2003
This house seeks to allude to a tradtional farm building, archetypal elements are used but subtly resized and reinterpreted to create a familiar but contrasting image.
The openings on the front and rear elevation are regular in height, creating a sense of order, whereas on the side they are organised in a looser composition.
Internally the rooms are organised around a central staircase with a rooflight above - a device intended to make the spaces adaptable over time.
