In Ukkel, Belgium, you can find a stylistically chic private house. It has 434 meters square. Five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The house is currently on sale for $3.88 million.
It all starts with the exterior. It looks traditional; there is even a bit of a skew towards the old mansions. You know, like in family movies, with lawns, junipers, properly tracery window frames… But at the same time, all made of modern substitute materials!
But when you open the door, your head explodes! Openwork molding, grandiose lamp, wood, metal, plastic … Stylized as natural, artificial materials. The modernist, baroque stucco elements he envisions, a certain furniture clutter, lets us know – the designer has played around with modernist trends! But it went well for the interior! It’s about time someone yanked him back and reminded him of the century we live in!
The result is a lot of practical and functional high-tech solutions, which, however, do not destroy the overall picture of the house, made in Art Nouveau. All elements, thanks to the flexibility of art nouveau, which is taken as a basis, are smoothly woven into each other, creating a unique composition.
The description of this property sounds incredible! Can you provide more details about the eclectic interior? Are there any specific design elements or themes that make it stand out?
