Textual content description supplied by the architects. On the positioning of the previous Wivina monastery in Groot-Bijgaarden, on the border of the walled property, stood a dilapidated tenant home. A single-story home with a gable roof and small outbuildings. An accompanying entrance pavilion allowed for personal entry via the monastery wall. The entire is a part of the protected heritage website of the monastery, which needed to stay intact in the course of the renovation.

On the similar time, there was a have to create a distance from the walkers within the public monastery backyard.

In that means, a patio was created inside the current partitions of the home, which created the specified distance to the general public area, and a brand new room was created on the opposite aspect of the home amidst the encircling greenery.

Whereas the start line of the renovation is a seemingly easy gesture, it concurrently leads to a nuanced weiterbauen on the present tenant home. The brand new plan of the home is marked by the previous wall that turned an interior wall and in that means turns into a defining component for the association of rooms on the bottom ground, with on the one aspect a kitchen, and a front room on the opposite.
