HOUSE BRUGES
Brugge, B
The renovation of this small terraced house, along one of the Reien in the historical heart of Bruges, consists of reinterpreting the typical cramped back buildings as a spacious and generously lit winter garden. The double-height space, entirely covered in timber planks, starts off as an arch which gradually lifts asymmetrically towards the back, framing the tall trees of a neighboring garden. The old house is entirely renovated with partly new flooring and new colour schemes for façade, walls and ceilings. The custom made kitchen furniture with integrated fire place doubles as working area, becoming the new center of the house.
