Architects Pieter Peerlings & Silvia Mertens are Sculp(IT), who live and work in this remnant space of 2.4 meters wide, 5.5 meters depth and 12 meters height.

Four wooden floors between two existing walls organize this house. Downstairs for work, dining on the first, relaxing on the second, sleeping on the third and on the roof a place to go and enjoy the view.

‘Starting with a space just 2.4m wide, the dimensions offered no choice but to build upwards: four stories, stacked tightly between two buildings, each section offering four different living or working spaces. On the ground floor, the office; the second floor, the dining room; the third floor, the living room and the fourth floor, the bedroom.’

‘Deciding on the floorplan became a matter of modesty rather than convention as the entire frontage of the building is glazed and open to the outside world. It stands as a light art installation for passers by and an exercise in exhibitionism which salutes to the less than salubrious past of the area. the bathtub, situated on the rooftop, seals this notion, out of the way of most prying eyes but still deliciously extroverted.’
