Description

Cubist volume with butterfly roof by renowned arch. Marc Dessauvage.

Situated in the golden triangle of Brasschaat. Easy access to the motorway and yet residential and green surroundings. Through the woods to the Sint-Michielscollege, by bike to the tennis or field hockey club Dragons, and with the proximity of the center of Brasschaat and Kapellen.

The house makes the middle ground between "abstract architecture" and "brutalism" of the 1960s. The use of materials is as natural, simple and uniform as possible.

Both outside and inside, Dessauvage uses a dark heather flower hand-formed brick from the region of northern Antwerp. Roughcast concrete is frequent in the facades and ceilings. The floors are executed in brownish-yellow fired clay tiles.

The consistent use of the same materials gives the home a tremendous sense of tranquility. Dessauvage makes use of many and large windows, almost everywhere from floor to ceiling. This gives the home a very light and pleasant character.

The house is central on the plot - front and back gardens are the same size. Symmetry and clarity are the core elements of the floor plan.

A spacious hall cuts the house in two. On one side: kkn, dining room and spacious sitting room on one level below. This difference in height creates a spatial play of volumes. On the other side: garage, office, pantry and large living room. The large living room was later divided into rooms to serve as a practice.

Through a staircase in concrete and wood you enter the floor with a high "Professor T content". Wooden closets in the hallway, wooden ceiling and carpeted floor. Furthermore, a large parents' bedroom, bdk, separate toilet, three children's bedrooms and a smaller (guest) room - each equipped with a sink.

Property to renovate.
