 <\/p>\n

\"
This house on a large, wooded lot in the Flanders region of Belgium offered SAOTA an opportunity to design a distinctive contemporary architectural object in the landscape that would simultaneously serve as a warm, outward-looking living environment and engage meaningfully with its surroundings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The principal components of the master plan include a main house above a basement parking garage and a separate pool pavilion with a home office. The house and pavilion are linked via landscaped courtyards, a structured system of koi ponds <\/span>and a swimming pool<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exterior design is composed of solid cubes and interconnecting glazed voids, which are unified with a slender canopy that wraps around three sides to form outdoor terraces. Clustered vertical columns double as sculptural screens. The facade design is an expression of the interior layout. The client\u2019s preference for traditional, defined rooms rather than an open-plan arrangement led to cellular interior spaces that <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"open outwards onto the terraces and inwards towards a double-volume central atrium with skylights. The house responds to the local climate by fostering an indoor-outdoor lifestyle in summer, and an introverted, cozy environment centering on the atrium in winter. The way in which the cellular character of the rooms fragments or erodes as they open to the terraces and atrium makes for fluid transitions and invites glimpses of the garden deep into the interiors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exterior fa\u00e7ades feature a restrained palette of materials – slabs of Giallo D\u2019Istria marble cladding on the walls, sandstone floors, and paneled Alucobond aluminum sheets along the fireplace broken up by large glass panels. <\/span>The contrast between the precision of the architectural detailing and the organic textures of the materials amplifies\u00a0their inherent beauty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The simplicity and formal clarity of this home\u2019s design, both as an architectural object and as a tranquil living environment, aims to facilitate\u00a0an authentic, connected relationship with its natural setting.<\/span><\/p>\n
