Textual content material description equipped by the architects. On the positioning of the earlier Wivina monastery in Groot-Bijgaarden, on the border of the walled property, stood a dilapidated tenant residence. A single-story residence with a gable roof and small outbuildings. An accompanying entrance pavilion allowed for private entry through the monastery wall. Your complete is part of the protected heritage web site of the monastery, which wanted to remain intact in the midst of the renovation.
On the same time, there was a need to create a distance from the walkers throughout the public monastery yard. The design departs from a simple gesture: the 4 partitions of the house have been preserved and restored, whereas one among many ends of the gable roof has been moved halfway outside the amount. In meaning, a patio was created inside the present partitions of the house, which created the desired distance to most of the people space, and a model new room was created on the alternative side of the house amidst the encircling greenery.
Whereas the beginning line of the renovation is a seemingly simple gesture, it concurrently results in a nuanced weiterbauen on the current tenant residence. The model new plan of the house is marked by the earlier wall that turned an inside wall and in meaning turns right into a defining element for the affiliation of rooms on the underside floor, with on the one side a kitchen, and a entrance room on the alternative. The model new roof development is manufactured from wooden clt-panels, which moreover divide the areas on the first floor. The ending of the roof consists of ordinary roof tiles, which, nonetheless, are positioned diagonally due to the shift.
Then once more, the doorway pavilion and the outbuildings have been tailor-made with yellow bricks, which can be solely recognizable as new provides up shut. The gesture with which the house was given a model new life thus stays almost invisible to passers-by: the gable roof stays a gable roof, on prime of the earlier partitions.
