Nestled within the verdant landscape surrounding Leuven, this country house has undergone a thoughtful refurbishment that honours its authentic character while embracing a contemporary vision. The redesign prioritises the transformation of the home office and kitchen, reimagining these spaces to enhance both circulation and everyday functionality.

Structural interventions play a pivotal role, introducing expansive openings that frame new and larger views of the surrounding greenery. This infusion of natural light creates an ever-changing dialogue between the interior and the outdoors.

Guided by an architectural approach, the refurbishment elevates the spatial quality of the home, crafting an environment that feels simultaneously expansive and intimate. The flow between rooms has been refined, creating spaces that encourage connection while allowing for moments of retreat. This project transforms the country house into a timeless retreat, where the authentic charm of its origins blends effortlessly with the comforts of contemporary design.
