Back then, when we were expecting our third child, we started looking for a new place to live. We instantly fell in love with this spot in the Emmalei with its beautiful trees. This impressive beech avenue merges seamlessly into the forest of the 'Kattekensberg'. Then followed many fascinating conversations with architect Kris Vos - an intensely rich experience. His ideas were worked out in sketches and preliminary designs until we could knock off the final plan. Always in consultation and with one clear goal in mind: a child-friendly home where everyone could find their own place to grow. We still look with amazement at this already future-oriented house with energy-conscious approach, where every square centimetre was used to the full. Talk about a visionary architect!
When the children were out of the house and the grandchildren followed in quick succession, we started a thorough renovation, without compromising the original concept. The house was opened up a bit more and the kitchen island became the heart of the house, for cosy aperitifs. The grandchildren amused themselves for hours upstairs, where they were given a play floor.
This house grew with us at every stage of our lives. Its openness and security immediately appealed to us. The terrace, garden and vegetable garden provided the necessary rest after a busy working day and the nearby forest and beautiful surroundings also allowed us to look at nature with wonder and enjoy it to the fullest. Today, we are ready for something new, but we hope the cool play floor will once again allow happy children's voices to echo.
