Terraced Townhouse Renovation That Blends Vintage With Modern

If you’ve seen the film In Bruges with Colin Farrell, you may already know this little town in Belgium. If not, then you should know that Bruges is a pretty old city with a lot of old buildings. This small townhouse is one of them but has recently been renovated by 51N4E architects. The house is in the historic center of Briges and was a store before the renovation. The double-height room, completely covered with wooden planks, begins as an arch that gradually rises asymmetrically backwards, framing the tall tree of a neighboring garden. The old house has been completely renovated with partly new floors and new color schemes for the facade, walls and ceilings. The custom-made kitchen furniture with an integrated fireplace also serves as a work area and becomes the new center of the house. The house has a generously lit winter garden. The interior is a great example of how cool vintage and modern styles can be mixed.
