Apart Huis-Arts
Three terraced houses were positioned on top of a medical office in this design by architecten de vylder vinck taillieu. The office was extended into the garden by means of a low volume with a green roof and three sculptural roof lights. The interior spaces of both the medical office and the residences are designed as a play of structural elements in red industrial brick, concrete bricks, concrete floors and wooden floors. The façade is a continuation of these basic construction materials in a more structured composition that fits the street. On top of the façade, three odd roof dormers appear to rest on the roof edge, with parts of the façade brickwork extending next to or between them. The balconies of the living rooms are sheltered from view by means of open brickwork. The humble materials and their distorted tectonic expressions turn out to be a leitmotif in this take on Flemish terraced housing.

Composite Presence at Biennale Architettura 2021
This project is part of the exhibition Composite Presence in the Belgian pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.Architecten de vylder vinck taillieu: "We have two projects contributing to the exposition Composite Presence.
The first project Apart Huis-Arts is a multiple housing project, which
finds its quality by the inscription in the Flemish context.
The
other project Verbrande Brug is a single-row house. It starts from the
existing storage space on the ground floor. By bringing the living space
to the first floor, they benefit from the open view of the canal in
front.
Both projects redefine living in a house by questioning conventions. The unexpected outcome becomes the new reality."
