Wim Goes Murcutt Alumnus
Wim Goes' exquisite wooden extension to a house on a pond in Belgium.
This very fine private refuge is located in a tiny hamlet in the Flemish district of Belgium, about 10 kilometers from the country’s third-largest city of Gent. Gent-based architecture studio Wim Goes Architectuur designed the beautiful extension to this residence. The wooden addition sits above a new wine cellar and extends partly over the pond. There is a suggestion of antipodean erosion of building edges. Wim was a participant on the 2006 Glenn Murcutt International Master Class in Australia, and went back for seconds, attending the 2008 ‘ozetecture’ Master Class in New Zealand with Ian athfield, Richard Leplastrier and Peter Stutchbury. Richard Leplastrier was recipient of the 2004 'Spirit of Nature Wood Architecture Award' presented in Finland, also won by Richard Rogers, Peter Zumthor, Kengo Kuma and José Cruz Ovalle.
