To build on a marvellous spot in the woods, in a hilly landscape as ‘Vlaams-Brabrant’, requires an unpretentious architecture. Architecture that merges into the landscape. No typical Flemish house, but an oblong living-object, transversely placed on the contour of the hill, taking over the form of the slope. No bricks, but a camouflaging green skin of plants and sedum. The ultimate integration of house and nature.
