Designed on a very small plot of land the Centre of Antwerp, this minimalist house responds by opening up both facades maximum, split-levels and a void (with a roof of glass) on the top 3 levels (the main living areas : bureau/library/kitchen/dining and the highest split level is the sitting room with open fire and views of city and sky, from there you access the roof-terras with views over the entire city. A lot more than with a standard racking of floors, that most houses have. In summer we can open op top windows and create a natural ventilation through the void and the opening to the roofterras, currently (it’s snowing) the top level is almost like an iglo, with the open fire, and snow that lays on the glazed inclined windows.

The materials used in this project made as natural as possible, colours flowing into each other, to create a monolithic character (other wise). Inspiration for the color pallet was found on a beach in france (driftwood, pebbles, the color of the sand). Interior designed by Britt Crepain in all the furniture, completely integrated (functional and esthetically) in the architecture.
Location : Antwerp, Central area, Belgium
Architecture : CSD Architecten
