*벨기에 호텔 리노베이션[ Matador ] Centre du Design, Mons, Belgium

18세기에 지어진 타운하우스(호텔)였던 이곳은 현대적인 감각의 윙으로 확장됨으로써 박물관으로 리노베이션되었는데, 이번 프로젝트는 건축학적인 의미 그 이상의 최적의 '도시적'인 그 무엇이다.
건물은 가변성, 빛, 그리고 기능을 제공하면서도 현대적으로 표현될 수 있는 인테리어로 완전히 탈바꿈하였다. U자 형태의 정원은 그 선택에서 탁월한 역할을 한다. 건물은 주변 구역으로 그 전체적인 깊이를 확장하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 갤러리나 통로는 두 개의 구역을 연결하고 있고, 이는 다른 성분들의 형식적인 조합을 이루고 있다.

This project consist in the renovation of an 18th century town house (hotel de maître) and in its extension through a contemporary wing.

More than architectural, this project is foremost urban.

It is presented as a hinge between sections of neighborhoods, public spaces and major buildings and it is defined by two lines.

The first explicitly links the “croix place” to Trouille Street. This line introduces the “rue du design”, calls forth the neighborhood of the “carre des arts” as to opposite their rapport: these lots are no longer back to back they now dialogue through the interior street. They play upon the dynamic effect of depth to attract from the “croix place” towards Trouille street and then on to the “abattoirs”. The second, more implicit, looks to the “carre des arts” and indicates the triple bay of windows which institutes the door proposed by Matador to link this building to the project lot. The restauration of the more ancient section does not permit any contemporary intervention to the classified historical frontage or rooftops in light of their intrinsic qualities.

The interior volumes has been completely modified so as to offer more fluidity, light and new functionalities, as well as a contemporary expression. The “U” shaped courtyard of this building plays a preeminent role in the choices made.

The extension proposes a building stretched out over the entire depth of the site. A generous gallery/passageway links two distinct volumes separated by a patio. This allows for the distribution of the premises and ensures the formal unity of the different elements.

This passageway is covered with a skin of perforated and bent sheet metal, some of which is fixed some which is mobile. This “skin” is a poetic vibration that opens and closed to meet the needs and the moods of the occupants. Its polycarbonate covering, grated floors and perforated sheet metal skin filter light to define a sensitive and voluptuous atmosphere.
