M&O’S RESIDENCE

Construction of a private residence.

 

This private residence is a modern villa set in the green surroundings of the southern area of Wezembeek-Oppem. Designed for a young family of five, the house features two above-ground levels and a basement.

The architectural concept focuses on creating a contemporary home with a clean, linear design and high-quality interior spaces that seamlessly connect with the garden. The structure combines a sober yet elegant aesthetic, using a play of volumes to optimize the site’s orientation and topography. Terraces animate the south-facing façade, while large bay windows frame expansive views of the garden, ensuring a constant dialogue between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The building’s horizontal lines and consistent material choices help it blend harmoniously into the surroundings, evoking a sense of calm. The light-toned exterior cladding reflects the style of neighboring homes, further enhancing its integration with the environment.

The layout is thoughtfully organized: the ground floor comprises living areas dedicated to daytime activities, while the first floor accommodates the bedrooms and bathrooms. The basement is reserved for technical spaces and storage.

The landscape design complements the architecture by creating a natural garden setting that introduces diverse plant species, adding a new dimension to the property. This approach not only integrates the house within the site but also forms a seamless link between architecture and nature.
