Architecture is beyond any given style, for Simon at least. He defines it as transparency, lines and view.<\/em><\/p>\n

Simon set up on his own in 2018. His talent for modern architecture is illustrated by the vast portfolio of residential projects. A love that grew from years of immersion in classical architecture, where a building\u2019s authenticity is shown in a contemporary light.<\/p>\n

Construction is a process of constant interaction, mostly with the client. Every project is pushed that little bit further by a shared passion for architecture. Simon’s ambitions lie in total projects that can grow into unique, tailor-made homes by refining the initial rush of desires and ideas. That creative process begins at the core: how does the client like to live at home? The answers give shape to a design that always begins from the inside out: get to the heart of the home, then evolve outwards. Every project is tailor made and therefore different but can be reduced to a few elements that Simon regards as essential: perfect proportions, clean lines and a strong focus on detail, transparency and view. And minimalism, which means anything but clean. Set against the clean lines we have softness; against pure, understated style we have warmth.<\/p>\n

That sense of security, surely the essence of a home, resides in a multitude of qualities: beautiful, natural materials, acoustics, a wall to embrace a space, a cosy seat in a picture window, an entrance that says welcome without words. The garden, like the environment, is in dialogue with the home. A driveway lined with greenery, a tree for a sense of intimacy at the front door, shrubs casting new and interesting shadows in the interior throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Where does a project end? The client decides. A well-chosen furniture item, accessory, or artwork can enliven, subdue or even dial up the flamboyance of an architectural\u00a0element, and so it too has its place. Above all, there should be nothing to inhibit passion.<\/p>\n

Simon was born in Ghent in 1990. He was educated in French, Dutch and English, allowing him to work in three languages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
