项目是一个典型的佛兰德式住宅建筑，位于城市与乡村交界处的一处典型郊区社区中。业主是一位退休的艺术书籍出版商，他希望能够将自己收藏的书籍全部带回家。设计者提出了一个独立建筑体量的方案——一个由金属包裹着的楔形建筑。

The site is that of typical Flemish home in an equally typical suburban neighborhood bordering the countryside. The client is a retired art books publisher willing to bring his collection home. The design proposes a separate architectural entity: a wedge shaped volume clad in metal.

项目被设想为一个书亭，木结构作为书本和屋顶的承重结构完全包裹着这个空间。这个书亭向后花园和临近的草坪开放。设计者在打造书亭的同时还建造了一个野生花园和一个蜂巢。

It is conceived as a library pavilion, a space entirely enveloped by wooden shelves, bearing the books as well as the roof. The space opens up towards the back garden an adjacent meadows. The project was accompanied by the construction of a wild-flower garden and a bee hive.

扩建的书亭部分紧靠现有建筑的一侧，其新的立面呈现出的倾斜角度使得这个体量从街道的角度很难被发现，因此保证了建筑的独立性。从内部看，倾斜的立面提供了看向后方的视角，设计者在那里安装了一扇巨大的宽屏窗户，框住了室外花园的景色。

The extension positions itself against the side of the existing building. The oblique position of the new façade makes the volume largely disappear from the perspective of the street, maintaining the typology of the detached house. From the inside, the oblique wall opens the view to the rear, where a large full-width window frames the garden and the landscape.

书亭与现有建筑相邻的位置最大程度地保留了其向外看时的能见度，同时也实现了书亭建筑表面积的最大化。与原有建筑相连的地方被设置在了角落处。房屋现有的一扇窗户被改造成了一条通道，设计者新增加了天窗以弥补因改造而造成自然光线的不足。书亭的立面被镀锌钢板所覆盖，在垂直方向上充满了节奏，使通向花园的入口处能够无缝衔接。这种金属材料借鉴了附近农业建筑的谷仓门，能够反射周围植物和天空的颜色。

The adjacent position also preserves maximum visibility from the existing building at the back, while realizing a maximum of new built surface. The connection to the house is therefore made at the corner. One existing window here is transformed into a passageway and a new skylight compensates for the local loss of daylight. The facades are clad in galvanized steel sheet and are given a vertical rhythm that allows garden storage and entrance doors to be seamlessly integrated. The material refers to the barn doors of the nearby agricultural buildings and reflects the colors of the surrounding greenery and sky.
