Study: the Flemish Farm
By architect Sara Vandewalle
SCROLL
A typical Belgian architectural feature that deserves closer inspection and discussion is the mosaic of traditional, authentic farmhouses that dot the Flemish landscape. Belgian architect Sara Vandewalle takes a fresh look at the history of the farmhouse, while respecting the character of the site.
How will she deal with the rural style and the renovation of the characteristic red brick buildings? How can modernisation be achieved without turning it into a farmhouse or country style?
Three stories, three concepts
The thorough transformation of the traditional farmhouse resulted in three extensive case studies with a focus on the façade renovation within this compact building volume. Social interaction and the sharing of spaces are central to each story.
