HOUSE FOR ALAIN HUBERT
Sint-Genesius-Rode, Belgium
Project Featured on Jan 27, 2016
Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2014
SIZE
0 sqft - 1000 sqft
The neighbourghood, typical of a number of residential districts located in the surroundings of Brussels, is bordered by
houses, some isolated, some in small groups, arranged in narrow and deep
plots. The one that interests us is no
exception to the rule: 20 m wide along the road (to the North) and
73 m deep, with a building area limited to 11 m in width and
15 m in depth, 6 m away from the road.
The
construction is fully in wood from the Black Forest, Germany. The internal structure is
in Scots pine, with the frames in Larch and the panelling in Douglas.
The
outline of the house is a perfect rectangle of 3/4 proportions, but results
from a complex geometrical elaboration, based on two overlapping frames. A first frame, built on a square module of 90 cm,
follows the building limits and guides, in the façade, the installation of the
section of wooden columns of 80 mm on the side. A second frame, strictly oriented according
to the four compass points, forms an angle of 14° with the first (i.e. a right-angled
triangle of 1/4 proportions) and defines the blueprint of the partitioning
walls. In addition, the whole is doubly symmetrical according to the median
axes of the rectangle.
A
strict modulation also governs the vertical development of the construction. The floor height of 270 cm is divided up
into 32 sub-modules of 8.4375 cm, which punctuate the sections,
elevations and boards of the façade. The steps of the stairs have a height of
two sub-modules, i.e. 16.875 cm.
The
internal distribution is organised around two double height spaces, of
trapezoidal and symmetrical outline one compared to the other: the entrance hall to the North and the winter
garden to the South. Each contains a
staircase that leads to four bedrooms, with their bathrooms, and to the
secondary buffer areas.
