We were commissioned by our clients to transform an outdated Flemish 3-fronted house with traditional rear extension into a contemporary home with plenty of light. The new home had to feel especially spacious and, above all, take advantage of the view to the green area behind. In the design, we kept the main house and replaced the rear extension. The newly added volume follows the same movement as the original side façade and juts out slightly each time.

This creates a U-shaped patio that radiates a southern atmosphere through the flamingo-pink flagstones and vegetation.
