项目的前身是一栋废弃的战前体育大楼（建于 20 世纪 40 年代），由于从未被翻修改造，因此处于一种十分破旧的状态。真正的房地产开发商会直接选择将其拆除，因为从它身上已经看不到任何经济价值了。然而，本项目的业主却发现了它的潜力，购买了这块场地，并决定将这栋“无用的”建筑变成私人别墅。

An abandoned former war period sports building (constructed in 1940’s) was never intended to be renovated. Real estate developers thought of demolishing it as no one would imagine making anything useful out of it. However, the client bought the site and decided to turn the ‘useless’ building into a private villa.别墅外观，exterior of the villa©Tim Van de Velde
