3 DOORS:

A large continuous chocolate-brown volume holds the kitchen appliances, a cooking island and built-in cupboards. This volume emphasizes the length of the room and divides it into two separate zones. Entrance, storage space and bathroom on one side, kitchen, dining area and living room on the other.

The limited free height, a consequence of the concrete mushroom-structure of the building, is visually enlarged by the verticality of the slats and the built-in cupboards.

Colors, materials and finishes are intentionally warm and homely and deliberately contrast with the modernist industrial style of the old warehouse.

3 DOORS:

The loft space, located at the street side of a modernist warehouse complex built in 1932 for the Hesse Natie, was completely stripped and rebuilt. The space is immersed in light, thanks to large windows on three sides and highlighted by the length of the space and views along it.

DE BANK:

The design of the bench is inspired by both the structure of the Atomium and the round contours of the galette. A continuous movement that rises smoothly from the parvis, forms into a seating structure and elegantly descends back to the square. This dynamic, wave-like shape provides a fluid and seamless visual link with the Atomium and the square. In addition to its functional needs, The choice of form not only serves functional purposes but also contributes to an aesthetically pleasing and integrated design, embodying a sense of movement and unity with the landscape.

DE BANK:

We designed and brought to life the bench for the urban setting around the 'galette' of the Atomium, our national monument built for the 1958 Brussels World Expo. Constructed from concrete, this bench harmoniously integrates with the Atomium Square's urban landscape, offering a comfortable seating space directly beneath the impressive Atomium structure.

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN:

The central staircase of the house acts as a revolving hub, seamlessly connecting various functions to fulfill the client's need for a flexible circulation plan. Each space can be accessed in a unique manner, enhancing the versatility of the layout.

Voids and expansive windows contribute to the permeability of the spaces, allowing ample daylight to flood into the home and creating a sense of openness.

Outside, the champagne-colored window profiles and concrete bricks find their reflection indoors, ensuring a seamless color and material palette. The pale concrete flooring harmonizes effortlessly with both the bricks and the anodized interior joinery, creating a harmonious aesthetic throughout.
