Why go for new when the old is still good?

The huge table that used to dominate this space didn’t leave. We reclaimed its wood and turned it into two new pieces: a table attached to the kitchen island, and this one. Same wood, new life, and it looks brand new.

The shape comes from the tableware my client designed herself. She’s a ceramist, and her organic forms felt like the right starting point. The curves soften the straight lines in the rest of the space and give it some schwung and character.

Oh, and no need to swipe this time. Let’s normalise posting just one photo now and then. It’s not like the algorithm does what we want anyway, right? Curious to see more of this project? Have a look at my website or scroll back through my previous posts.

Preliminary design for an attic conversion.

The idea was to keep the plan open, while still dividing this huge attic into a bedroom, a dressing room and a bathroom.
I placed a volume with rounded edges that holds the storage and the shower. It stands at an angle on purpose. From the entrance, which sits more or less in the middle of the space, it guides you towards the sides. That left the centre of the room free for the bed and produces a natural circulation through the different zones.

The front part of the attic sits higher than the back, where the bedroom is. That extra height hides all the technical installations. En plus, the different levels and different floor finishes (wooden flooring in the dressing room, carpet in the bedroom) define the zones without a single wall.

A curtain divides the bedroom further and adds warmth, both visually and acoustically. A long tiled volume that houses the bath links the front and back together.

Have an attic that’s just storing dust and Christmas decorations? Send me a message and let’s see what it could become.

Don’t hire me if you want a copy of a showroom.
Don’t hire me if you’d rather have beige than colour.
Don’t hire me if you don’t want me to ask how you really live.
Don’t hire me if you think I won’t ask where the laundry actually ends up.
Don’t hire me if you want me to do all the talking. I’d rather listen to you first.

Recognised yourself in none of these? Perfect. Let’s talk about your project.

Flamingo and soft pink with yellow kitchen for Tine and Wouter. This one will soon go into production, so stay tuned to see how my renders will look in real life.

Preliminary design for Els and Danny’s kitchen. I’m making the design for the full ground floor. The entrance is redesigned so there is more wiggle room for a family with three kids. A door to the garage is added here as well. This impacts the living room were I proposed a fixed seating area that moves through the dining room, with a bench/ storage unit, all the way to the new kitchen.

No well thought through caption today. Just happily sharing this attic with amazing powder pink bathroom again, because why not.

An interior architect isn’t cheap. I know.

But here is what people don’t always see. I can’t design a house in 2 hours. The layout alone takes days or weeks, depending on the scale of the project. Research, sketching, measuring … a design requires a lot of thinking and trying different things. Besides the research, sketching and drawing, there are also meetings with contractors, mails, calls, plans redone because changes need to be made.

Then the detailed plans. I make them quite early, before the quotation phase, because I believe it’s clearer for my clients and my contractors this way and it means fewer surprises later on. I refuse to rush them because “good enough” isn’t how this goes. And even after all that, there are still decisions that never make it onto a drawing but still need a conversation.

If I billed for every hour that actually goes into a project, my rates would look very different.

I’m not interested in convincing people my work is worth it. I believe it is. I’m looking for the ones who already know that, and want to build something with someone who puts in the time.

If that’s you, send me a message.

My designs are not fixed in stone. It’s a conversation and a voyage until the final design fits my clients needs perfectly.

This project is the perfect illustration of that. Swipe to see my first designs and the changes I made. In some projects the changes will be more significant form-wise. For this kitchen the overall shape stayed the same. It was inspired by the design my client, who is an architect, made for the terrace.

What did change was the added seating. And in the last revision, we also added a suspended hoof instead of a built in one.

The most notable changes however for this project are in the materials. Where I first used stainless steel and green, the project evolved to a much warmer terracotta dekton with blue. And in the last stages we toned down the blue a little bit. Whereas before I used it to cover the ceiling and wall, we toned it down a little bit.

I’m curious to find out which one you prefer.
