A 360\u00b0 home perched atop a hill engages in a quiet dialogue with its surroundings. From here, sweeping views stretch out over the valley, while the surrounding water and trees offer a sense of seclusion and safety.<\/p>\n
By enlarging the natural pond and partially carving into the hill, the house becomes nestled between water and the undulating landscape. The result is an intimate and ever-changing scene. The basement-level pool sits flush with the waterline of the pond, creating a visual connection between the two.<\/p>\n
To fully integrate the home into its natural setting, we chose a brick color that harmonizes with the brown-grey tones of the nearby coniferous trees. The cantilevers, cast in acid-washed concrete, create intriguing patterns of light and shadow throughout the day, while the raw texture of the material adds a rugged, organic edge to the building.<\/p>\n
In the open-plan living area on the ground floor, the panoramic view and natural light take center stage\u2014always framed by a sense of comfort and protection. Warmth reveals itself in thoughtful details: a closable sitting room, generous windows with built-in seating, and a layout designed for retreat as much as openness. Architecturally, it\u2019s a modest home\u2014defined by a delicate interplay between spaciousness and intimacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":689,"template":"","tags":[67],"location":[56],"class_list":["post-333","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-photography-thomas-de-bruyne","location-kortrijk-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
