A Mirror-Clad Disappearing Act | Beli House

ByMyProperty Life

Tucked into the forested green belt of Kalmthout, Belgium, Beli House is a stunning example of modern architecture with deep roots in 1960s design. Originally built as a mid-century villa, this home was reimagined by Studio Okami Architecten into a contemporary residence that merges raw concrete, mirrored aluminum panels, and walnut interiors. The mirrored upper floor reflects the surrounding woods, making the house appear like a sleek, horizontal bungalow.

Designed for modern living with an open floor plan, home office, and sustainable features, Beli House offers floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, continuous concrete floors, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A marble feature wall near the entrance adds a striking focal point, while the reflective façade minimizes bird collisions through natural condensation.

  • THE TOY BOX

    – The client: I need a “toy store to store toys”
    – ji study: “We create a space that EVERYTHING IS A TOY !!”
    The project is intended for the youngest clients we have had:
    3 and 5 years. These mini-clients do not demand great needs, only places,
    spaces, colors and imaginative experiences.
    That is why we decided to make the leap of designing the furniture that we were commissioned
    to make a “mega furniture” that in itself is the toy and also
    The toy box.
    We had a very interesting volume in one of the bedrooms of
    a building built in the 40’s where we obtained the great advantage and
    opportunity to have a height of 4 meters free.
    This mega-furniture is based, in its concept, on a poplar wood fold
    that surrounds the space and creates volumes according to the places we wanted
    give them:
    – beds in line with nest beds below
    – stairs
    – yellow play tunnel with hemispheres and networks
    – benches
    – blackboards on walls and furniture
    – fun and sliding chairs
    – A desk table representing a sun
    – Lights like moons or stars
    – High and low storage
    In short, it is a space if a specific purpose, timeless
    and with the values ​​of IMAGINE, DISCOVER, INVEST, UP, DOWN,
    SKIP…
    WE HAVE OFFERED YOU THE GAME TOOLS, NOW ARE THE
    CHILDREN WHO DECIDE HOW TO USE IT.
    They can sleep or jump
    They can climb, or play, or hide.
    They can paint or customize your furniture or walls
