A couple of architects from CSD Architecten have completed a contemporary home design dedicated for themself. The house is located on a very small plot of land (4×15m) in a narrow street in the Center of Antwerp, back facade facing south.
The three story house consists of main living areas bureau/library/kitchen/dining and the highest split-level is the sitting room with open fire and views of the city and the sky. From there, resident can access the split leveled roof-terrace with views over the entire city.
The split-levels bring the light from the south through the house; a lot more than with a normal racking of floors that most houses have. Sunlight comes through everywhere, especially in wintertime when the sun is low. In summer top windows can be opened and give a natural ventilation through the void and the opening to the roof-terrace.
Most of the interior furniture designed by Britt Crepain and built completely integrated functional and esthetically in the architecture.
