Built on a sloped site in a quiet suburb of Brussels, this house replaces an existing structure with a new, compact volume. Defined by its simplicity and calm presence, the house offers a generous living space within a straightforward form. Rather than adapting to the terrain, the new volume confidently settles into the site. Its architecture is guided by clarity, economy, and restraint.
The structure is built using thermal blocks, without additional insulation. The exterior is finished with a lightly troweled cement render—unadorned, yet deliberate. The material expresses itself honestly, becoming the architecture. Inside, the spaces are open and fluid, comfortable without being ostentatious. The house responds to its environment quietly—embracing the slope, the climate, and its context with calm and coherence.
