House J Ghent

noArchitecten

House J Ghent by noArchitecten is a small-scale extension project of a row house of original construction date in Ghent, Belgium. In 2001, as the existing kitchen had to be replaced and there was a need for an additional bathroom, a single-storey volume was implemented in the backyard. The intervention increased the usable surface area from previous surface area to new surface area.
This project contributes to the socio-ecological transformation by pointing out the architectural value, that can be added to an existing building by a well-done extension. The annex can be used to individualise rather generic architecture as well as to elevate the spatial quality of the latter by relatively easy means.
