A studio house is realized in a formal Latin school in Middelburg. The complex consists of three building volumes that have little in common nor have a lot of interaction with the outside space. The interventions are aiming for creating more open space, the optimalisation of daylight, spatial connections and continuity. The walls in the hall of the living area are replaced by glass and removed in the work space hall. By doing this, openness and continuity between the spaces according to the passive building principles is created, despite the closed character of the existing building.

To emphasize the binding between the building volumes, a spatial element is placed in the hall zones in which storage and related house and office functions are integrated.
