A small part of Berchem lies hidden behind the train junction of Zurenborg. This secret neighbourhood shows it’s secrets only when actively passing through.

A couple as an architect and a contractor have rolled up their sleeves and taken care of their first own house. The original facade doesn’t immediately reveals what it has to offer on the inside.

Lifted up above the street, it finds the right spot between secluding and participating with the public environment. Rooms as enfilades and an open staircase give the interior an airy and natural flow. Warm finishes and neat detailing take care of a warm touch to this homely nest.
