Cohabitation
2024/04/25
Amongst the joys of an architect’s life is the site visit of a new project. The thrilling “What are we getting ourselves into?” moment. Impressions are a mixed bag but more often than not, they turn out to be surprisingly inspiring, for better or worse. Upon a recent visit to an old Brussels house, that was transformed and expanded into office space, we stumbled upon some remarkable details that begged for sharing and discussion. It wasn't clear whether we agreed or fully grasped the reasoning behind every aspect of the intervention. Yet, it stirred some questions and reflections about the clash of two generations, forced to cohabitate, and left us pondering if the gentleman in the painting is comfortable with his current “mise-en-scene”.
