VILLA KAPELLEN
An existing barn-like building surrounded by a forest was completely renovated and extended into a luxury family house.
A series of major incisions into the previously unused roof space creates new double height spaces, introducing natural light into the heart of the building. On the forest side a new extended façade creates a window wall that extends the views out into the landscape.
A mezzanine level in the double height entrance space provides a separate children’s TV lounge area that over looks the entrance.
Completion 2001
Location Kapellen, Belgium
Size 250m2
