Private residence with views on the Flemish dunes.
The starting point of the design process was to maintain the unique character of this historical building, which boasted the original optimal orientation and clever layout, and preserve it as much as possible. Most of the wooden interior structure was retained, while the old wooden panels on the facade were replaced with insulation and Thermo-treated wooden planks. The roof was also renovated, with the roof edge raised slightly so that the newly installed solar panels appeared to be sunken into the roof. This gave a more sober facade and finish, with the aim of integrating the house more with the nature of the dunes. The entrance to the house remained the same, accessible via the brick outdoor staircase.
The SoLi House starts from a transformation of an existing semi-attached house from the 1960s, characterized by a classic Flemish context with 2 floors, and pitched roofs. The design process focused on addressing the context and optimizing the use of three free facades maximizing the relation with the dunes.
