Located in a middle-class suburb of Liege, this project brings to a caricatural cottage style house an extension. Its brief was to contain within about 60m2 a living room, a small lawyer office, a covered terrace and a garage. The main gesture is to not touch the existing roof and trying to stay close to the existing living spaces by adding a volume in the prolongation of the back façade. A small cut into this façade allows the passage between the eating room and the new living room. This living room is fully glassed to open the space on the big garden. The clients asked a fireplace for the living room and a covered terrace to make barbecue while the weather is bad. By putting those two functions next to each other, the project introduces a strong visual and structural element: a travertine double sided fireplace that allows barbecues in the outside and fireplace in the inside. The small office and the garage take place in the intervention’s continuity.

HousingPost Scriptum (2013) in collaboration with Victor LaunayStatut : AWR Competition:L.I.B.O - First honorable mention

There’s never two points in the end of a sentence.The final point of this line of architectures’ collection in Borneo already exists. The current last house benefits from this status.Because of its indivisible link with public space, the dwelling is shaped into a 16x16m two-storey square detached from the single row buildings. - Did the house fall? -The project includes a wood in continuity of the house. This stripe assures a transition between the residential area and the sea through a soft slope where a dense grid of tall pine trees is planted. A simple mineral platform remains the dwelling’s proportions. The empty space cutting into the ground and leaving the water enter marks the asked dwelling’s absence. It also offers a maritime access to the residence. Two entrances to the house stand out, the private one stands on this water access, the other one stands on the public garden and allows people to get to the owner’s studio in order to have piano lesson. The house is centred on itself. Its structure is based on pine trees’ rhythm. It is closed on its north and west side, turned on its atrium. The project gives a green area to the neighbourhood but marks a clear boundary between the pavement and the wood. It finishes the edge of the existing dock but stand aside of the masterplan. Post Scriptum is a project added after the main body of the urban fabric.

The project gives a direction and a face to the actual industrial structure by surrounding it with a geometric concret frame. This frame wich welcomes exteral areas defines coherent spaces and contrasts with the actual chaotic volumes. The Quarto Inferiore is a small brough surrounded by fields. In order to incrise its visibility and its strength the project interpret this configuration by taking place in the middle of a field. The Cultural Center becomes a structure centered on itself, a setting for the actual architecture and futur cultural exhibitions. In order to provide the project a national dimension, two new boxes are added to the actual parts of the factory. One welcomes a library. Raised above the frame and nearby buildings, it gives a panorama to the neighbouring nature and the city of Bologne. The other box hosts the theatre’s technical parts and a roof patio for outdoor shows.The exhibition area is both internal and external. Outdoor spaces allow visitor to admir artists’ interventions between the frame and the factory. The internal exhibition hall offers a path through a double high space and smaller galleries. Inclosed in its frame, the cultural center mediates between its neighborhoud and its national or international ambition.

DescriptionThe project aims the setting up of a temporary circular surface, bordered by an enclosure that isolates it from the rest of the city. The plan is composed of three simple elements: an entrance, a bench and a chicken coop.Mocking the highly symbolic place where it is set, the installation offers a greenery corner in the city centre’s hart to breathe, to run after chickens or to pick up eggs.

Neighborhood identityUNESCO word heritage site, the Grand-place demands a quality intervention. On this rectangular place end up a multitude of typical historical little streets that make this space a passing place where we always stop a few minutes to admire its beauty.

GoalTo offer an astonishing and playful installation Implantation

In a contrasted context (opposition water front-busy street), the project deals both with an urban location and a new scheme for the A.M.F.I. (Amsterdam Fashion Insti-tute). By elevating a student working area, the project provides to the main stream’s street an horizontal and vertical public escape. Through this main gesture three spaces are created, each of them having their own iden-tity. The school’s program helps to activate those three spaces allowing the public to cross literally the school. People becomes so a strong inspiration source for students.

Letter of Reference Justine Lemesre Justine Lemesre has been an intern at NL Architects from September 2010 till the end of June 2011. During this period Justine has worked on several projects among which: Competitions • DE VONK-School Knokke-Heist: Nursery and primary school (Design phase) Architecture • RING UTRECHT OOST UITHOF: Under Highway design (Design phase) • GRONINGEN FORUM: cultural information center (Presentation documents- Interrior Design

phase) During these ten months Justine has been involved on various levels in the making of architecture. Justine has applied her skills to CAD computer-drawing in 2D and 3D, she has transferred ideas into visualizations, or she built physical models. She carried out all of these tasks to our full satisfaction. Justine is a reliable person. Already after a short period in our office she has been able to take on responsibility and work unguided. From the beginning onwards she was very motivated and interested in the work that she performed with creativity, accuracy and efficiency. Her contributions to all of the projects have been constructive. We appreciate her commitment and her independence. Justine participated well in different teams but showed she can also work independently. In the beginning Justine maybe seemed a little shy but with her friendly being she integrated herself very well in the office. Up to the point where she would bake the entire staff Belgium waffles. Justine could improve on her organization capacity in the sense of setting priorities and keeping an eye on the timetable. Because Justine tends to be a modest person she sometimes seemed to forget to reflect about the project at hand, and keep an open line with her colleagues. In general we were very pleased to have Justine as a part of our team and we wish her all the best and lots of success in her future career. Sincerely, Pieter Bannenberg Principal, NL Architects
