DC2 Residence by Vincent Van Duysen Architects:

“The undertaking for a home in Tielrode is the 2nd undertaking for the client of the DC residence in Waasmunster, which Van Duysen produced in 1998. The client is moving from a purely residential neighborhood to a rural surroundings. The short existed of the constructing of a residence, adapted to these rural and informal surroundings. Apart from the principal residence, the undertaking also concerned the renovation of the old farm barns.

The position of the new created residence was restricted by the footprint of the recent residence. The notion of Van Duysen to go back to the basic rural generating typology (a lengthy volume parallel to the street, with a 45° gable roof) refers to the tradition of simple farm homes in the area. By its place, it strengthens the courtyard in amongst the property and the barns, opened up to the street. The home is located in among the courtyard and the fields, in this way enjoying both the smaller sized scale of the enclosed courtyard (with the midday sun), as correctly as the far and wide views on the fields.

The reference to tradition in the basic volume is combined with a contemporary execution. The thorough method to the style and the materials palette include to the modern character of the residence. By the use of a constant materials for the façade, any ornamentation is removed from the design and type: the frequent gutters and ridges are pretty much abstract, invisible. The standard roof overhang was not executed, the door thresholds have been not carried out in Belgian bluestone, and the wooden façade –making reference to the previous wooden barns- is continued on the roof.

Appropriate right after consultation with the client and the contractor, the two previous barns have been not renovated but rebuilt, in the really same design and style and fashion language as the primary residence, incorporating to the character of the total venture. At quite 1st glance, due to the fact of their abstract character the 3 volumes don’t seem rooted in the rural context. Even so, when you enter the courtyard, you truly feel that the venture is certainly grown rooted in the tradition and the scale of the rapid surroundings.

The principles of a passive residence had been followed and achieved in the style, with the collaboration with Denc!-studio, and architectural studio specializing in sustainable construction.

The landscape style and type by landscape architect Paul De Roose, was limited on purpose to the cautious organizing of solitary trees, the restoration of the beautiful holly hedge about the terrain and the use of a brushed concrete floor, widespread for a function farm courtyard. These concrete floors are continued in the residence in a sandblaster finish, precisely in which they set the tone for a sober interior, fitting the ambiance of the architectural undertaking.”
