Preserving Authenticity: A Timeless Design for a Family Home
Intent on preserving the authenticity and soul of the original design at this villa built in the early 70s, Karine Bruneel opted not to erase the past, yet to go beyond a simple reconstruction when renovating the interiors. Her idea was to recreate the spirit of this family home, where comfort and conviviality are the main emphasis. With its oversized volumes, the living room is conceived as an open floor plan, which easily lends itself to be divided into different areas that can be used as desired.
Whether for a group gathering or a moment of privacy, the layout creates a warm space to enjoy for hours on end. A space whose design is timeless, and not influenced by the latest trends, where notions of purpose and comfort are essential to be able to work, dine, relax, be served or serve oneself, at any time and without constraint.
Good design is not about how expensive something is but rather about how it relates to people.
