Sacred Heart Church had one single gate, in the axis of Sacred Heart Street. Everything that happened in the church ran along that axis, leaving the square on the long North side, and even the greenery and the presbytery siding the church to the South unconnected. All this ignoring was brought to an end by our plan. What was needed were transverse connections between the square, the church, the greenery and the presbytery. This opens the church not to one group and one use only, but to all groups and uses in the neighbourhood. Sacred Heart church sets out to win all hearts and becomes Trump of Hearts.

This house was renovated by piecemeal interventions during the long time we have been living in it. It is a 4 bays wide terraced house with a porte cochère on the side, that used to lead to a courtyard, giving way to a workshop of approximately the same size as the house. Demolishing all annexes on the courtyard and removing redundant divisions in the house restored generous dimensions to the rooms, the house itself and the courtyard. Windows, moldings and the mantelpiece were preserved on the streetside, but not on the courtyard side. Subsequently, the workshop was demolished as well, leaving only a small segment that serves as a tool shed and braces the high party walls. In 2005, on the adjacent plot, our office was built. The last steps were the kitchen extension in 2018 and the consecutive garden layout in 2019. Water springing from a once obliterated well was collected in a tank, creating the conditions for a luxuriant garden. Continue reading De Smet Vermeulen
