Opulent new-build villa in 'Manoir' style
This house didn’t steal its nickname ‘Le Petit Versaille’. Centrally located in a park with a large driveway along a sleek pond, it’s a real gem. Originally, the owner wanted to renovate the existing home, but due to structural defects, we opted for a new construction, inspired by the existing home. The opulent villa is designed in ‘Manoir’ style with an eye for symmetry and historical materials. The villa may look old with its typical French windows, but the home is indeed equipped with the latest technologies and meets the most recent energy standards.
The opulent character is further extended to the interior, radiating warmth through the use of light and natural materials. The Hungarian point floor adds an extra touch of elegance, which is further enhanced by large windows, interior doors with classical door frames and a fireplace with an elegant cornice. The bathrooms are finished with natural stone, marble and mosaic tiles. The elegant cupboards in the living room and dressing upstairs give an instant feeling of luxury.
Eye for rural details and connection between outside and inside
In a sloping garden we find a contemporary authentic family home designed with respect for rural details. The heart of the home is the kitchen. Minimal window profiles provide a beautiful view of the garden. To reflect the rural character of the house, oak beams on the ceiling were chosen in combination with sloping plasterwork.
The fusion of micro-topping, oak, authentic brass door handles, natural stone in shades of green and the connection with nature gives this house a contemporary character, which is further emphasized by the axis lines throughout the entire house.

"Luxury is in the details"
Worldly new-build villa with eye for detail
This new-build villa embodies contemporary style with attention to unique details in the design, bringing together modern elements and warm materials. The family was inspired by their many travels and loves ‘worldly’ materials that are not native to Belgium and the Netherlands. This is reflected in the interior in various ways, for example in the parquet in walnut and wenge in combination with mahogany and dark oak. The fusion of these materials with marble, bronze etc. provides the villa with its own character and gives a warm appearance.

Facade
The facade plaster is accentuated by a frame with a staircase effect, creating a striking architectural detail. The emphasis on verticality in the facade is reinforced by high windows and doors.

Kitchen
The open kitchen is a harmonious fusion of dark and light materials. The use of natural stone supplemented with brass or bronzed details adds a touch of elegance and refinement to the space.

Bathroom
The bathroom emphasizes horizontal lines through a grooved effect. This adds an interesting texture to the space.
Modern interpretation of a thatched farmhouse
This family wanted a beautiful new-build home with natural materials and textures. The idea that emerged immediately was to draw the outside in. Light walls in combination with dark larch ensure harmony. To maintain the openness between the different spaces, steel interior doors, sliding doors and pivoting doors are used that disappear into the interior. All living areas also have large windows with a minimal window frame to maintain the connection between inside and outside.
The combination of natural stone floors and worktops, wooden parquet floors, wooden partitions and tone-on-tone painted walls results in a serene interior that gets that little bit of extra homeliness and warmth through the upholstery, decoration and furniture.
