In Ostend, we transformed an existing manor-style family home into a contemporary residence while respecting existing elements. We also looked for an answer to the client’s request to create a sense of security in the middle of the open spaces.

The property’s location also played a part in the design. Located at the edge of a park and blessed with a landscape garden, we opted for a design that presents itself as a canvas to its surroundings. Hence, residents get the feeling of living ín the landscape. Particular attention also went to the selection of art in the house. One of our hobbyhorses, we admit.
