We had our bel-etage built sixty years ago. We were immediately in love with the modernism of the sixties, and in fact we still are. That's also why we kept so many authentic elements, an obvious one for us. Everything in the house fits together. Every day we go to the bakery and the butcher on foot, and sometimes we add a walk around the castle of the Black Eagle or in the Rivierenhof. Our children had a fantastic childhood here: from walks in the park to watch the ducks over juicy blackberry picking to the daily bike ride to the nearby school. For everything we want to do, this is a perfect base.'
