Overview
Add nothing the house would reject
A Belle Époque townhouse in Ixelles, restored over eighteen months. The brief was clear: add nothing the house would reject.
We repaired the original Versailles parquet, uncovered a fireplace hidden behind a partition wall, and designed a new kitchen that reads as furniture rather than fitted cabinetry.
The interventions are quiet and reversible, letting the architecture lead while modern life settles comfortably inside it.
Process
Parquet repair underway — each damaged plank individually matched and replaced.
