TRIFI - A house for F. and T.

This project involves the transformation of a family house in the green belt around Brussels. From the outset, the design was driven by the garden—the element that originally convinced the clients to purchase the property.

The interior was opened up to intensify the relationship with the sloping landscape, and an exterior room was introduced as an intermediate space between inside and outside. Our affinity for materials that engage with natural light is expressed through the use of natural anodized aluminium in the construction of this interstitial space. It functions as a sun screen for the terrace while simultaneously reflecting daylight deep into the adjacent living room and kitchen.

ABOUT

i.s.m.architecten
(in samenwerking met architecten)

i.s.m.architecten (short for "in samenwerking met architecten," which translates to "in collaboration with architects") is a Belgian architecture and interior architecture office with a strong focus on spatial design and the design process. Since its inception in 2010, they have built up expertise through various projects, ranging from furniture pieces over opera scenographies to interior and exterior architecture

Each project starts with an open perspective. The creation process and its accompanying production lead to a focus which is then tweaked and refined. In this way, each undertaking becomes a means to evolve the design language, create new forms, or refine existing ones, pushing the practice towards new horizons leaning on a solid collaborative relationship with its clients.
