Text description provided by the architects. In rural Wichelen, a detached house with a classic character received a thorough facelift. The crow-stepped gable, which was covered up because of moisture problems, was repaired and returned to its original state. Nothing else was touched on the outside, except the creation of new contrasting window openings at the rear of the house. The new, double-height window maximises the connection with the garden and the meadows behind, and distances itself from the neo-style through its size and detailing.

The kitchen and living space are separated by a large planter with tropical plants. Visually, both functions of the open space are also delineated by the use of different flooring materials. Green Topcer tiles, which continue on the kitchen island and planter and a parquet in the living space. Newly used materials and structural elements become part of the interior through careful detailing.

Don't judge a book by its cover! On the outside, this seemingly classic house conceals a light, spacious and surprisingly contemporary interior.
