Unpretentious, in terms of luxurious interiors, visitors to Forum City will be interested in seeing the Belgian version of a rustic house.
A residence in the surrounding landscape
In the Belgian village of Temse in the small community of Tielrode, Vincent Van Duysen Architects developed and realized the DC2 residence. The same client first did this in 1998. The second renovation was done on an old foundation.
Inner courtyard of a rustic residence
Rather strange architecture of the residence reminds one of a country barn
With the owner's consent, the company renovated not only the apartment building but also the outbuildings, making the entire courtyard space look like a coherent ensemble.-
Courtyard
The courtyard looks pretty bleak
A staircase in light wood leads to the cellar
The architecture of the building is like an industrial hangar
Residences buildings look like impregnable fortresses
Huge wooden shutters sliding open, flooding the interior with daylight
The large windows overlooking the yard, where Paul De Roose's staff painstakingly planned the landscaping out of the solitary trees, are also worth mentioning.
Architecture of extremes
Unusual wall construction with niches and transparent doors
The entrance to the property looks like the fortress gates of ancient castles
