Remodeled Loft Inside Old School Building in Brussels with Yellow Panache!

ByMyProperty Life

Turning old buildings into contemporary homes not only saves resources and time, but it also gives us innovative new interiors that feel a touch different from the mundane. Transforming an old school building unit in Brussels, Belgium into a gorgeous modern loft with minimalist style and yellow aura, dmvA completely altered the interior while making most of the ample space on offer. It is not very often that you see homeowners or designers gravitate towards colored glass panels as room partitions and it is even rarer to have ones in yellow picked for the job. But that is exactly what you get here with fabulous light yellow glass panels delineating the living area from the kitchen and dining space.

Beyond this lower level, you have the bathroom that is clad entirely in yellow with the floor, ceiling, fixtures and accessories, all embracing the color gleefully. Apart from this overload of yellow, the rest of the apartment is clad in white with minimal décor and cabinets shaping the kitchen and the bedroom. Space-savvy design takes over with contemporary lighting fixtures adding elegance to the mix. Large windows bring in natural light while a smart layer of recessed lighting ensures that there are no dull corners here.

  • Maullin Lodge

    This lodge is a 120m2 house located in a rural scene in a southern region of Chile. The brief was to design a house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a main shared space, interpreting an old small traditional southern Chilean dwelling. The challenge of the proposal was to get that traditional southern look, which implies very opaque facades, but with a full translucent side where the landscape and light can get inside the building, creating its own private world. The house is placed between a forest of native trees, giving its back to the main street. So, the house is oriented to the north and west to get the most of sunlight, which this south down is much appreciated. The concept of the design is organized based on 3 contrast between old and new:
    1- Removing non-structural walls and floors: the main structural shape and volume are maintained the same as the old traditional house, but the interior is liberated from any non-structural dividing element, which helped to create a clean and continuous space.
    2- Concentrating the apertures: The main source of light is the north façade, keeping the other free opaque as a traditional southern house would have, so the proportion of void and mass was not lost.
    3- Material contrast: Big floor to ceiling windows in contrast to recycled traditional timber shingles, an evident contrast between old and new. The distribution of the house is developed in an almost square plan, divided into three volumes:
    The main one has the public areas of the house: kitchen, dining room, sitting room and mezzanine.
    The east one, the widest, has sleeping rooms and bathrooms with the main access of the house.
    And the west one is 1.5m wide acting as a corridor and informal dining room adjacent to the public areas of the main volume. The mezzanine is an opportunity to use the roof space, with a lot of light and natural heating, having control over the main space.
