A narrow terraced house on a deep plot in the city is stripped and redesigned into a home with a studio. Every intervention remains visible. The concrete skeleton is retained and surgically modified with brickwork, wooden beams, steel columns, and plywood interior walls. The new staircase is accessed through a concrete sculpture by artist Bram Vanderbeke.

At the rear, the brick barn is transformed into a studio. The gable roof is sloped, and the facades are reinforced with a yellow steel structure that refers to temporary scaffolding. A wooden structure is stretched between the end walls, following the sloping roof line and fitted with a canopy. The studio overlooks the inner courtyard. Below it, a covered outdoor space is created that connects to a walled garden.
