项目位于鲁汶历史中心一片密集区的典型联排公寓中，业主是一个五口之家。

The client, a family of 5, lives in an archetypical row house on a dense plot in the historic centre of Leuven.

住宅被改造成多个相连，但风格各异空间的集合体，一个宽敞的，高而明亮的空间漫射天光，成为住宅的中心。一条隐秘的楼梯可以通往相邻的小砖房。住宅临街面的空间设有前厅，接待室及储藏室。露天花园中装饰有绿植墙和大型水景。

The home is transformed into a collection of connected spaces with very diverse characters: a very big, high and bright space with zenithal light becomes the centre of the project. A small adjoining brick shed is reached through a secret staircase. The street side room serves as a vestibule, a reception space plus storage room. The garden becomes an open air room with green walls and an oversized water element.

住宅通过设计元素间精巧的搭配来定义空间的风格：似漂浮的玻璃屋顶，轻盈的混凝土楼梯，水磨石地板，绿色的土墙和大型滑动窗。

The rooms are defined through a careful formulation of building elements: a floating glass-roof, a thin concrete staircase, a terrazzo floor slab, a green earth wall, a large sliding window.

住宅内公共空间及私人空间以类似城市的结构交错关联，营造出多元对立的生活环境。

This collection of rooms becomes an ambivalent living environment in the continuum of public and private rooms that compose the city fabric.
