LOFT FEEL IN A NARROW HOUSE

Type: renovation terraced house
Location: Heverlee
Status: completed 2012

An existing terraced house on the outskirts of the city has to be transformed into a home for a family with two growing children and with lots of storage space. The result is a very compact home, 4 m wide and 12 m deep on the ground floor, where every square meter is used, yet with a playful and open character. The kitchen is a central element in the home and open sightlines connect all floor levels. Large windows in the rear facade and open connections between floor levels, make that light comes deep into the house. The sleek white walls are interrupted by bright color accents to create a secure feeling.
