Subtle renovation of a postmodernist home by Jo Crepain from 1986
PARTICULAR ATTENTION WAS PAID TO THE CHARASTERISTIC ELEMENTS OF THE HOUSE
BY REnewing THE GLASS DALS, the timeless beauty of the existing architecture WAS RESPECTED
THE EXISTING BIRCH PLYWOOD - a TYPICAL MATERIAL USED BY CREPAIN - WAS REFRESHED and PRESERVED
the kitchen has been restored to its original lay-out
A seperate coffee cupboard was essential
the staircase with lattice steps is a real eye-cather, almost an object in itself
the ultramrine blue colour originally used on the exterior columns was extended inside
the mushroom - shaped passage was too beautiful to remove
After completely stripping the bathroom, it was rebuilt with an eye for the postmodernist design language
the rooms remained untouched
The timeless details still remain architecturally strong today
old ventilation grills now refLect the environment
After all these years, the building remains an iconic building
using blue as a connecting element, a subtle balance was created between old AND new
