The renovation was committed to preserving and integrating the existing cottage into the contemporary extension. This was achieved through the retention of traditional elements, such as the original stove that has been carved into the modern bathroom as a reminder of the properties history.

This is a renovation of a typical Zoute villa with white brick and thatched roof. Though the house had a great charm it was also very dark with very small spaces. Therefore a glass extension with minimal windows was added and spaces were connected in a continuous and more open layout.

A tiny palace in a narrow garden. The luxuriant environment suggested an ambivalent approach to the architectural object. At human height, the palace is transparent, but its crown is proud, adorned with precious stones, and spanning across the perimeter walls.
