There are certainly many regulations concerning thermal insulation in Belgium. Up until about 2 years ago, they were less stringent (only K45 norm, I think, I'm no architect), so maybe this was constructed before that time. Otherwise, as always Buro II delivers another beautiful minimalistic building. I do wish I could let them design my next home, but they are probably a little out of my budget.

I don´t know if the belgian climate and building regulations let such details through in the XXI century, but this definitely does not work in Germany/Switzerland/Austria. In these parts of Middle-Europe you need complicated details including expensive Isokorb thermal-elements to achieve this naked exposed concrete look. The swiss experiment nowadays with insulating light concrete with ceramic granulates, which yet more expensive and you get construction walls with 50 cm width. This is the big controversy of building with concrete: you want a raw, honest, simple, monolithic look, but you need complicated and expensive solutions to achieve thermal insulation (guilt not for regions with warm climate though).

A simple elegant design focusing on the details instead of flashy nonsense! The folded concrete element is wonderful as is the warm wood interiors. Beautiful.
