A spacious, detached house with plenty of possibilities, high living comfort and quirky architecture. With that question, the owners of this corner lot knocked on Schellen Architects' door. The architectural team answered the request with, among other things, an impressive living basement under the house, maximum contact with the garden and a dynamic architecture that brings together travertine-look ceramic tiles with austere aluminum Linarte facade slats.
Based on his clients' mood board, architect Reginald Schellen worked out the building concept and matching interior design. The verticality of the Linarte slats creates a captivating contrast, enhanced by the varying depths and resulting shadow play. The design, a mock-up of the tiles and Linarte profiles and the ease of maintenance easily convinced the clients.
The facade surfaces with louvres are an alternation of Block 16 and Block 16L profiles in the color Terra Brown (RAL 8028), a dark bronze shade that combines beautifully with the beige of the tiles. Matching the color of the Linarte to the rest of the joinery creates a harmonious whole. The profiles run as a band just below the top volume, but also recur several times at other windows and columns, above the entrance and over the garage door, where the horizontal joints become almost invisible.
Limeparts-Drooghmans performed the aluminum cladding. “The combination of Block 16 and Block 16L translates into a refined, rhythmic facade design,” says coordinator Veronique Theunissen. “Via detailed 3D drawings and thorough technical preparation, we were able to coordinate the concrete effect with the architect at an early stage.”
