Loft Antwerpen

24 februari 2006
The site is located on the north edge of the city of Antwerp. An area of docklands with a great potential but still very fertile. The Marnix building is a late nineteen-century warehouse next to a big harbour. A carefully built brick building with three mayor compartments each about 8 x 21 meters in floor plan with a row of oak columns in the middle. The floors are constructed out of wooden oak mayor and minor beams and pine planks. The loft occupies the top two floors. The client Mr. Lensvelt is a furniture manufacture in Breda. A very dynamic social personality. His children seem to have inherited the same spirit. Playful and active, turbulent like tornados. Going to sleep is for them like wasting time.

Already in the first sketches we tried to design an open, communicative scheme where one could circulate. We tried to reduce all the necessary program elements like bathrooms, bedrooms and laundry room to a minimum so that we could maximise open space and circulation both horizontally and vertically. The scheme should be minimalistic of nature in order to create a space where a hectic family life could flourish and come to a rest. In other words the people should fill up the space not material. In the end we developed three little cubes. The first cube just floating above the ground floor containing two bathrooms. Sandblasted glass is the only barrier between shower and living room. The second cube is halfway up containing a bedroom and carrying the kitchen. The third cube hangs from the ceiling of the tiled roof and contains the crows nest bedroom for the boys. Abstract elements related in size and shape, made out of white plaster and sandblasted glass in an environment of old wooden beams and columns. The cubes sometimes wrap the structure and at other times functioning as a background showing details of the old structure.

Besides the fact that the cubes function as programmatic points of rest they also mark the circulation. One cube has cantilevered oak planks coming out of the wall functioning as a stair. Another cube pokes through the floor and functions as the landing of a stair, which leads to the roof terrace. This stair is made out of only 6o mm thick carefully connected raisers and treads without any support beam. A technical accomplishment by Mr. Lensvelt’s factory without showing its technical complexity.

The ground floor function is mainly for playing and sleeping. The second floor contains the kitchen area and a living room in front. A long narrow strip of windows reveal the view over the old harbours of Antwerp. In front of the window there’s a full-length low sill with in the middle a fireplace without any sidewalls to contain the flames. The freedom of the flames almost functions as a metaphor for loft and the Lensvelt family.
