Located in the centre of a typical Flemish village, WETHI challenges the conventional streetscape of continuous terraced housing aligned with the pavement. Rather than extending this building line, the project explores how a single-family house can establish a different relationship with its surroundings. A pentagonal footprint reduces its contact with the street to a minimum, departing from the traditional organisation of the village frontage.

This geometry generates two contrasting outdoor spaces. A walled patio creates an intimate, inward-looking entrance, while the opposite side opens towards the rear garden and surrounding landscape. The exposed concrete construction reinforces the building's autonomous presence, contrasting with the predominantly brick-built context.

Inside, the geometry of the building accommodates an open spatial organisation. A single triangular concrete column, together with an adjacent sunken seating area, articulates the living spaces without introducing additional partitions. An open concrete staircase connects the two levels, becoming a sculptural element within the interior.

Bespoke plywood furniture introduces a domestic scale and a tactile contrast to the exposed concrete. Carefully positioned colour accents in the sliding door, rooflights and bathrooms further differentiate the spaces, adding another layer to the otherwise restrained material palette.

Through its distinct geometry and exposed concrete structure, the house reconsiders the relationship between the individual dwelling and the collective village streetscape, while allowing architecture and interior architecture to develop as part of a continuous spatial investigation.
