A small project for a small house. Better: a large glasshouse for a small house. The house remains a house and does not need to be reinvented. The evening school is hosted in the large glasshouse. Very simple in appearance, refined detailing in reality. A wood and steel curtain wall. A floor of polished concrete. An inverted structure of hanging steel blades. A drop-shaped terrace. Playful yet seriously white and constructively refined.

A typical terraced house in Brussels, in a rather good state. Two independent programs, a social apartment, and an evening school. The renovation remains strategic in order to maximize energy efficiency while minimizing grey energy. Given the narrowness of the house, the project favors a common entrance hall. This mixed access creates both a link and a social control: it is a place of sharing, open on the evening school and the community hall in the neighboring house.
