Beneath the Willow Tree Home / Objekt Architecten

Textual content description supplied by the architects. The primary concept was to renovate their earlier dwelling. Nevertheless it simply so occurred {that a} week after their first assembly at our workplace, our prospects had been capable of purchase the house of their desires: previous vacation dwelling on the highest level of the village, within the midst of the countryside. Other than the exceptional views, the plot has an additional asset: a ravishing weeping willow.

The construction of the previous home from 1904 was maintained as a lot as doable, so as to protect the character of the facade. The normal Flemish rear extension was changed by a brand new construction, becoming into its casing as if it had been lipstick. The brand new quantity was clad with black tiles, each on the façade and on the roof, which blends in properly with the unique brickwork. The design additionally took into consideration the consumer’s needs, specifically 4 bedrooms, a studio for the proprietor, who’s knowledgeable ceramist, an open-plan dwelling kitchen, and the connection between the backyard and home.

Within the selection of supplies, the ecological facet was extraordinarily essential. Along with the contractor PUUR-bouwen & Large Initiatives, amongst others, all of the choices had been mentioned and balanced. From the various bio-ecological prospects, the selection fell on hemp lime as insulation materials within the partitions and on cellulose flakes as roof insulation. Inside, the partitions are completed with loam plaster and, for the lavatory, a water-repellent lime plaster, tadelakt, was chosen. The load-bearing flooring are made from wooden that is still seen, and the kitchen is made from block boards with doorways made from formwork materials. These selections contribute to a heat really feel and a wholesome indoor local weather.

The outside joinery, put in by Mondian from Zonhove, is made in Austria. On the surface, the home windows got an aluminum end in a deep black coloration to match the chosen cladding. On the within, they got a wood end, which in flip matches the clay plaster. Triple glazing, a warmth pump with a borehole warmth exchanger, and a sort D air flow system with warmth restoration should guarantee most local weather effectivity in the home.

The 4,500 m2 plot on which the home was constructed was not paved over unnecessarily. The parking areas, for instance, are completed with a gravel garden and the steps to the entrance door and the studio look like floating over the bee-friendly entrance backyard. The remainder of the backyard has been stored pure and can evolve along with the household. Within the meantime, the consumer has already put in an out of doors bathtub and the backyard has been given a fruit-picking maze. The result’s an ecological home during which the residents can reside and work in a ravishing, inexperienced setting, because of the big home windows, and during which, when the climate is sweet, you’ll be able to think about your self in Provence.
