Miel Eline 住宅丨比利时丨Atelier Vens Vanbelle

Miel与Eline购买了Irene的房子以及其附带的酒吧和马厩。不久之前，这栋住宅是Ghent城外乡村中一些农民的每周定期聚会点。周四早上5点，每周一次的奶牛市场都准时开市，所以每周三晚上，人们都会把奶牛运送到这里，并送到房子后面的马厩中。之后，前屋主人Irene会在街边的咖啡馆中为农民们端上一杯啤酒，就像30年前在这个Ghent被认为是最粗鄙的社区之一的其他大约20家所谓的屠宰场咖啡馆一样。如今，这里变身为一个受欢迎的社区，人们对过去也只留有一些模糊的记忆。

Miel and Eline bought Irene’s house with accompanying pub and stable. Not long before, this house was a weekly stop for a handful of farmers from a village outside Ghent. On Thursday mornings at five o’clock there was the weekly cattle market, so every Wednesday evening the cows were unloaded here and escorted to the stable behind the house. Afterwards, the former resident Irene served some beers in the café on the street side, just like in about twenty other so-called slaughterhouse cafés in what was considered one of the roughest neighborhoods in Ghent thirty years ago. Today this district is a popular neighborhood with only a few vague memories of the past.

建筑本身的状况很不理想，布局也不太实用，因此，建筑师决定对其进行重建。设计中的挑战之一是保留马厩以前的氛围，并将其与中部花园连接起来。马厩屋顶的梁结构令人印象深刻，同时又让人感到非常熟悉亲切，这就是为什么建筑师决定将这种感觉延伸到室内空间中。

The house itself was in poor condition and the layout was impractical. A renovation would be so drastic that it was decided to rebuild. One of the challenges was to preserve the former atmosphere of the stable and to link it to the house together with the intermediate garden. The beam structure of the roof of the stable is impressive and at the same time feels very familiar, which is why it was decided to extend this feeling to the house.

通过将马厩的老橡木横梁重新引入到临街一侧的新建筑中，很少会有人意识到这栋住宅是新建的，而不是由原建筑改造翻新的。前后立面刻意保持了中性的设计，甚至堪称克制，而建筑内部则彰显出温和且令人惊喜的氛围。这栋新住宅带给居住者好像曾经于此生活过的熟悉感，同时也满足了他们所有的需求，从地热热泵地暖到双淋浴头、猫挡板，甚至是圣诞灯的插座，都被安排在合适的地方。

By copying the old oak beams from the stable to the new house on the street side, few people realize this is a new construction and not a renovation. The front and rear facades were deliberately designed to be neutral or even restrained, and the interior also opted for a modest yet surprising interior. The house feels lived-in, but at the same time translates all the wishes of the residents: from floor heating with a geothermal heat pump to a double shower head, a cat flap and even a socket for the Christmas lights in the right place.

为了不将所有生活空间都排布在底层，同时考虑到建筑的朝向和采光，建筑内采用了错层的设计。通过这种方式，建筑体量可以更加紧凑，以最大限度地为花园留出空间，同时阳光也可以通过前立面穿透到住宅的深处。从前门到儿童房的夹层，建筑内共设有八个错开的楼层。位于中心的楼梯被橡木横梁环绕，与马厩形成呼应，也连接了所有分隔的楼层，创作出舒适的空间体验，保证了最大的视觉通透性。无论你站在哪里，你总能看到一扇窗户，感受到阳光。这使得住宅内部让人感觉非常明亮和宽敞，身处不同楼层的人也能够保持彼此的联系。

虽然楼梯和横梁结构非常引人注目，但其色彩和材料的选择却营造出宁静的空间氛围。每一层都使用了相同的材料：橡木、钢材、（抛光）混凝土、亚黏土和不锈钢。厨房备餐区坐落于底层地台上，因此，人们可以坐在吧台前，就像曾经在Irene家那样，一边做饭一边欣赏花园和后院旧马厩的景观。

Although the stairs and beam structure are very present, the choice of color and materials provides the desired tranquility. On each floor you get a repetition of the same materials: oak, steel, (poly)concrete, loam and stainless steel. The work area in the kitchen is one step up, so you can sit at the bar as you once did at Irene’s, and you can cook with a view of the garden and the old stable at the back of the plot.

马厩内部曾经非常阴暗，但是通过移除部分楼板，并用透明的波纹板代替旧屋顶，充足的光线被引入到了室内之中，并与美丽的梁结构创造出了迷人的光影游戏。该空间就如同是花园的延伸，分为休息区和工作空间，Miel会在这里维护他的摩托车。楼梯则通向夹层平台，在那里人们可以在可滑动开启的天窗下享受日光浴。

This stable was a very dark building, but by removing part of the floors and replacing the old roof covering with transparent corrugated sheets, light now enters generously and the beautiful beam structure creates a fascinating shadowplay. The space feels like a logical extension of the garden, and is divided into a seating area and a workspace where Miel maintains his motorcycles. A staircase takes you to a platform where you can sunbathe under a sliding conservatory window.

住宅和马厩都铺设了棕色抛光混凝土地板，同样材质的花园小径连接了两个建筑体量。两栋建筑之间的花园宽敞而宁静，在这个人口密集且邻近Ghent环路的社区中，宁静的氛围堪称一种罕见而特殊的空间品质。常绿攀缘植物、灌木和树木在花园中蓬勃生长，在经年之后将远处的城墙景观与花园的绿色背景融为了一体。

A brown polished concrete floor was placed in both the house and the stable, and the garden path with the same floor connects both entities. The garden in between is spacious and quiet, which is a rare and special quality at this location in a densely populated neighborhood and so close to the Ghent ring road. A mix of evergreen climbing plants, shrubs and trees grows here with a distinct leaf structure that will make the city walls disappear into the background year after year.
