This family house of 450m2 has been completely renovated and both the second floor and ground floor are extended. The living room now offers additional living space at ground level and has a direct connection to the garden and terrace. This connection is established by replacing the whole facade with just three huge glass sliding doors (3x1.8m each). The sliding doors have a barely visible frame thats built in the walls, floor and ceiling. The kitchen that is situated directly behind the sliding doors can be part of the terrace and garden in the summertime. The kitchen includes a large wooden closet-wall that even partly extends to the outside. The sliding doors connect to the closet when closed. The complete stainless steel kitchen island (3.7 x1.2m) is completely suspended from a structural column. The column was necessary because both the load bearing wall and the facade were removed. But the column needed to be in exactly the same spot that was also the best place for the kitchen. CUBE therefore decided to integrate the two and hang the kitchen island completely from the floor. Water and gas lines now go through the column. Some other items that stand out in the house are the sinks in the toilets and two bathrooms that are cast in black concrete. The 310cm high interior doors in the house give the rooms an elegant look.
