House HEIDE / Architectuuratelier Vos + Luchtschip Architectuur

+ 15

Text description provided by the architects. House HEIDE, a single-family house located in Oosteeklo, a small village near Ghent, is a new-build home for a young blended family. Something very unusual about the location of this project is the presence of a protected bunker from the Second World War in the garden, very close to the house itself. In order to preserve the views of the surroundings, it was decided to place the living areas on the upper floor while the architects opted to locate the bedrooms, bathroom, and more functional areas on the ground floor. A rather closed first level is in contrast with the open and glazed upper floor.
