A horse stable is converted into a home. The grand space is impressive and magnificent. Throughout history the building has been rebuilt several times. This created a strange composition of windows. We see the beauty of this and want to enhance this "windowshuffle" even more by adding skylights. Further interventions are minimal: some window and roof openings have been added, the attic floor will be replaced by a new open plank-mezzanine floor, a staircase and a kitchen unit will be added. Nothing further. The new planks (as shelter and mezzanine floor), the plastered panelling and the framing of the windows, whitewashed walls, the new steel exterior joinery: everything became white and light grey. This is how the old and new details including the charm of the historical, structural elements come to their full expression.

Een paardenstal wordt verbouwd tot woonst. De grootse ruimte imponeert. Ingrepen moeten minimaal zijn: er werden enkele raam- en dakopeningen toegevoelgd, de zoldervloer wordt vervangen door een nieuwe open planken-mezzaninevloer, er wordt een trap en een keukenmeubel toegevoegd. Verder niets. De nieuwe planken (als onderdak en mezzanine-vloer), de gepleisterde lambrisering en kadrage van de ramen, de gekaleide muren, het nieuwe stalen buitenschrijnwerk: alles werd wit en lichtgrijs. Zo komen de oude en nieuwe details en de chame van de historische, structurele elementen het best tot hun recht.
