Not only us, but also our architect will certainly have special memories of this property. On first visits to the construction site, it was always a bit of a nervous search to slow down in time and find the narrow street that led to Makkegem. But once you have wriggled yourself through the narrow passage you enter, dixit our architect, ‘another world’. Countless times, after a busy working day or hopeless traffic jam, I have thought how much truth there is in that remark.
I myself keep the warmest memories of my office, with blissful pond view. While working, I was regularly distracted by the birds bathing in the splashing water. What curious behaviour! And then those surprising splashes of colour.... Anyone who thinks our nature is banal and grey, I wish an hour at our swimming pond, in the company of our green woodpecker and jay, the puffed-up pheasant rooster and even the flashy, turquoise kingfisher. If you are looking for a sun-drenched ‘sunroom’, this is the place to be. The different colours of light throughout the day, the play of the seasons... Everything seeps in beautifully here. Moreover, the open, unobstructed view of greenery provides a calming sense of freedom. Permanent holiday atmosphere!
