APARTMENT MH
In the heart of Brussels, in an old factory with residence, this apartment with loft en art deco allures lies hidden. You enter an oasis of calm. As of 1923, Pyrex, known for its heatproof dishes, produced glass pipettes and Erlenmeyers. In the forties, the company moved to the United States and the large warehouses were then used to store fruit and vegetables until 2002. Then the factory buildings made room for ten lofts. In the former residence of the factory owners, a stately town house at the front of the complex, three more apartments were made. The residents form a heterogeneous mix. Young families, couples and singles, Belgians and foreigners have found their way here.

HOUSE BEO
What sort of house do you make of a garage? A challenge for the architect who let himself go with light and shadow. The result in unexpected openness and surprising perspectives. Right behind the garage the architect places the kitchen block: ceiling-high fitted cupboards and a cooking isle with Corian top. In white to preserve the unity. The black chairs by Verner Panton add contrast. As do the colourful yellow Polder sofa and small hassocks by Hella Jongerius.

NEW MANSION
Walking through this impressive house is like making a time travel from the Middle Ages to the present time.The history of this new mansion dates back to the 16th century when the building was erected as a brewer’s house. Over the years, the house has known quite some alterations and renovations, resulting in a different ambience in each room. Thanks to its rich history and the various building campaigns over the years, the house became very diverse and valuable. Also the garden was completely restyled in collaboration with a scenic architect.

REVISED HOUSE
Farm in a new outfit. The image of the typical Flemish farm is by looking at these successful renovations instantly forgotten. The architect made illuminating and spacious changes that created a completely different house. In the back of the farm he made a gallery from which you now have a panoramic view of the green surroundings. In the front he placed the windows at different heights. That creates a playful effect that breaks the linearity of the living room.

APARTMENT BA
This old glass oven factory is now the home of Architectslab but also of 13 families in different lofts and apartments. The contrast is quite striking. Outside you have the hectic but appealing city life. The whole site is renovated with great respect for the original Art-Deco and modernist architecture.
