MUD Residence is an exceptional and refined guesthouse nestled near the forest of Heverlee. Designed to host up to four guests, the residence offers a private spa and a lush garden, creating an intimate retreat that merges comfort with understated sophistication. Equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, MUD provides an immersive holiday experience, blending functionality with an atmosphere of quiet luxury. Adaptable to various uses, the residence serves as a versatile canvas for unique ideas and exclusive gatherings, enveloping guests in an almost rural yet elegantly refined setting.
The original 1960s villa has been thoughtfully reinterpreted, preserving its stylistic elements while adapting them to a contemporary, honest design language. Authentic details and materials are revived with precision, creating pure and restrained lines that open the space to new perspectives. Flooded with natural light, the interiors exude a serene and welcoming ambiance. A sleek steel extension seamlessly expands the living area, fostering a deep connection with the lush garden and its tranquil surroundings.
Natural, weathered materials introduce contrast and depth, aligning with the ethos of MUD and its creators. Tactile surfaces, a blend of refined and rugged finishes, and a rich interplay of textures engage the senses, offering a fully immersive experience. A carefully curated collection of design classics, rare vintage pieces, and compelling artworks completes the interior, reflecting the vision and inspiration of MUD’s creators while imbuing the space with character and soul.
