Buelens Vanderlinden Architects, architect’s own house, Overijse, Belgium, 2002.
"After five years in the rainforest of Singapore, architects Veerle Vanderlinden and Geert Buelens were addicted to the outdoors…"
The façade consists of 50% fixed bay windows and 50% opening timber panels. As well as providing suffi cient natural ventilation, this system adds a dimension to the façade: a traditional window, open or closed, unveils the same view on the exterior, it is transparent either way, whereby the surface creating contact with nature remains unchanged. On the other hand, if a closed panel opens, the additional surface creates new perspectives.
