Room in the city

51N4E

The client, a family of 5, lives in an archetypical row house on a dense plot in the historic centre of Leuven.


客戶是一個五口之家,住在魯汶歷史中心一塊密集地塊上的典型排屋裡。

The home is transformed into a collection of connected spaces with very diverse characters: a very big, high and bright space with zenithal light becomes the centre of the project.


住宅被改造成具有非常多樣化特徵的相連空間的集合:一個非常大、高、明亮、天頂光的空間成為案件的中心。

A small adjoining brick shed is reached through a secret staircase. The street side room serves as a vestibule, a reception space plus storage room.


通過一個秘密樓梯可以到達一個相鄰的小磚棚。街邊房間作為前廳、接待空間和儲藏室。

The garden becomes an open air room with green walls and an oversized water element.


花園變成了一個帶有綠色牆壁和超大水元素的露天房間。

The rooms are defined through a careful formulation of building elements: a floating glass-roof, a thin concrete staircase, a terrazzo floor slab, a green earth wall, a large sliding window.


房間是通過精心設計的建築元素定義的:浮動玻璃屋頂、薄混凝土樓梯、水磨石樓板、綠色土牆、大推拉窗。

This collection of rooms becomes an ambivalent living environment in the continuum of public and private rooms that compose the city fabric.


在構成城市紋理的公共和私人房間的連續體中,這些房間變成了一個矛盾的生活環境。

51N4E is rooted in Europe, where comfort slows down change. In the face of a democratic and ecological deficit, transformation happens here in a space that is already occupied by multiple and often parallel realities. In this context, we use design to help overcome opposition and create integrated value and new experiences.

51N4E is a self-steering collective that wants to empower people to be both autonomous and connected. It does so by organizing the supportive processes needed for a collaborative design culture. This collaboration platform combines the internal studios with a growing network of external partners. As such, it mirrors today’s complex reality and produces an ecosystem of knowledge.
