Small intervention in this bel-étage house, connecting the dining room, kitchen and elevated terrace, respecting the original proportions of the spaces. A made-to-measure kitchen with high end materials is the eye-catcher of the intervention.

HYPOTHESE
.
In this Schaarbeek townhouse, the existing amalgam of additions, porches and canopies was torn down for more light, width and space in a new living kitchen, where the folding windows blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor space.

PAG-ASA
.
For non-profit organization Pag-Asa, doing fantastic work for victims of human trafficking and exploitation, two former physics and chemistry labs in a high school building were transformed into a shelter home with a common area and 5 private rooms with bathroom.  The short-term stay offers residents comfort and privacy, a place to start a new life.

LANDELOOS
.
In yet another Brussels’ townhouse with a problematic interior-exterior relationship, the narrow kitchen and dining room were merged to create a bright and spacious family kitchen. A double-height second skin façade was added, connecting kitchen, terrace and basement in a way that allows the living spaces to extend into the garden.

.
Renovation of an interbellum Radio, Telegraphy & Television building, revealing its valuable elements - high ceilings, fishtail parquet, masonry façade – and adding new ones in a formal/materialistic language that differs but connects. At the back of the plot, a new sculptural volume in concrete and steel was added. It maximizes the available and much needed extra space for the CAW, assuring their low-treshold presence in Vilvoorde’s city centre.

MINOR
.
For this project on the Sint-Jorissite in the city centre, dubbed ‘Co-Kot Bxl’, an old school attic was transformed into 11 studios that bring together students and unaccompanied refugee minors in a living arrangement that guarantees their privacy but encourages integration and community building. The built-in furniture maximizes the available space while dormer windows, skylights and perforated flooring let daylight enter, giving the compact studios a spacious and airy feel.

Ground floor remodeling of this townhouse, where the owners wanted us to uncover some of its original charm, reversing a rather flashy 90’s renovation.
A made-to-measure room divider and some structural interventions let light flood in abundantly. Well-thought-out material choices, like the smoked oak parquet, Winckelmans tiles and salvaged doors and lighting from RotorDC, topped off with a Firmax kitchen make for a bright and charming space for this family of four.

Revalidating Brussels’ built environment, one townhouse at a time.
.
While charming and timeless in their own way, Brussels’ late 19th / early 20th century townhouses need some thought and attention to adapt them to 21st century living standards. We’ve handled quite a few of these beauties in recent years, with interventions that vary in scale but have a threefold common focus: more daylight, a better connection to their outdoor space and improving their overall energetic performance.
.
Some more pictures of finished projects will be added in the following weeks.
