Rehabilitation of a terraced house in Flanders. Essentiality between steel and wood

The architects of the design studio NU architectuuratelier renovate a terraced house on the outskirts of Leuven in the centre of Flanders, Belgium. The project maximizes the space and rehabilitates the existing facade

The space that was previously intended for two apartments, a single room on the ground floor and an area used as a garage, has been converted by NU architectuuratelier into a single-family house with an adjoining work area.

From the outside, the facade has been stripped back to the essential and the only novelty with respect to the existing one is the bright red door.

From the main door onwards, the development of the project makes the path become completely new. The environment is now characterized by degrees of space separated by transparent movable partitions

The rear facade is clad with dark grey painted wood boards, installed diagonally on one level, with large openings. The new window design contrasts with the glazed gallery of the original design
