Two doctors who were keen to live in the beautiful wooded part of Waasmunster contacted JUMA architects after purchasing an 1987 house.
JUMA Architects was commissioned to design a new house on a hill in the Flemish Ardennes. The north side of the plot offers stunning views of the surrounding fields with picturesque church towers in the distance.
The old mansion in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre had already been entirely dismantled on the inside when we were asked to renovate and enlarge it.
The floor plan of the home is elongated, as JUMA has a soft spot for long-drawn-out and low forms. Even the children’s bedrooms are located on the ground floor.
For the design of this new house, JUMA Architects was specifically asked to develop a compact yet highly livable plan.
Although this bungalow on one of the stately driveways of Brasschaat had been on the market for a long time, JUMA immediately saw its enormous potential when the client came to them with the question whether a renovation was worth considering.
For the internal conversion of a old rural house in Afsnee, JUMA sought to strike a balance between the authentic elements of the house and a newly designed contemporary interior. In the old situation, the large open spaces were last used as offices. JUMA transformed them into a logical sequence of warmly furnished living areas.
