We contacted architect Laporta after seeing one of his other realisations, a beautiful house in Wilrijk. We fell in love with his style and spent forty wonderful years here, together with our two children. They could play in the garden after school. For us, weekends were all about quality time with the family: long walks in the neighbourhood, followed by barbecues in the garden with friends. And if the evenings got a bit chilly, we enjoyed moving to the outdoor fireplace on the covered terrace.
