Spanning an impressive 2,100 square meters, this fully renovated 16th-century townhouse in the heart of Brugge (Belgium) is a true masterpiece. The residence comprises a three-story historic building and two new annexes. To maintain a clear overview of the numerous spaces, great emphasis was placed on creating beautiful, long sightlines that foster an open atmosphere from the kitchen to the office and from the swimming pool to the pool house.

Simon de Burbure is an Belgian architect known for his unique approach to restoring and transforming historic properties. His style can be described as a blend of classic and visionary, where he respects the original architecture while incorporating modern elements. De Burbure’s projects are often characterized by a harmonious balance between the old and the new, combining materials like marble with ancient brickwork and historic details.

The details accentuate the richness. The heritage was restored to its former glory by a team of skilled craftsmen, while new additions bring a contemporary freshness. The mosaic and terrazzo flooring, the conservatory, the colorful stained glass, and the towering arched windows, the bronze fireplace, and the play of light and shadow from the claustra make walking through this urban palace an experience.
