Coghen
Uccle
The client’s brief for the renovation of this 1930s Brussels house in Uccle was simple and daring. The desire was to create minimal-looking interiors that could convey a sense of calm and purity.
On the front facade we have kept the style of the house, while modifying it slightly to optimize the rhythm of the openings on the interior spaces. Inside, we have opened most of the spaces and reconfigured the vertical circulation of the house.
This created a feeling of fluidity and movement through the thin floating staircase, which quickly became the main architectural feature of the house.
While the light transcends all floors in a soft and fluid way, communication between spaces develops in the house, where a balanced composition of architecture and furniture blend in together.
Carefully crafting the right proportions and paying attention to every detail, particularly in the bespoke furniture and prime materiality, was capital in achieving the pure and coherent vocabulary the client was seeking.
