DESIGN
During the tumultuous COVID-19 lockdown era, an expert team of renowned local designers converged through Zoom to transform a crumbling old Belgian village home into a tranquil sanctuary.
Expert local architects handled the structural renovations. Esteemed regional designer Seppe Claeys (SEC design studio) created the whitewashed interiors, where minimalist elements and understated décor exude serenity and calm. A specialist landscape architect planned the luscious on-site garden so guests can relish rural life amid tranquil leafy surroundings.
Genuine from the inside out, this recently renovated property pays homage to its history and blends seamlessly into the charming town of Waterland-Oudeman. The front-facing façade fully complies with Flanders National Heritage regulations, restored with original bricks, wall anchors, and wooden windows to retain its authentic 1827 aesthetic.
The original structure remains intact, with all exterior walls dating back to 1827. Contemporary elements in the garden and interior add a twenty-first-century touch, evoking a mélange of historical heritage and modern, quiet minimalism.
