villa govaerts

Oostduinkerke

Concept

The home has the appearance of a roughly hewn block with incisions on a human scale. The first incision forms the entrance to the home via an underground garage, the second incision is an inner terrace connecting the kitchen, lounge and guest room. Each room has its own look and feel.

The home was given a minimalistic design so that it would absorb its surroundings to the greatest extent possible. The glass office on the upper level has a degree of intimacy despite its visible openness thanks to the surrounding trees. Other areas on the upper level have a beautiful view over the gardens and the entrance. Green roofs give the impression that the home was lifted up out of the ground and provide a second garden area for the two glass areas on the upper level.
