Transformation of an apartment on Avenue Louise, Brussels

Buying an apartment in an emblematic district of Brussels often involves a subtle dialogue between what exists and the desire for renewal. On Avenue Louise, this transformation project concerns a French couple living in a large apartment in Brussels, with a clear expectation: to find an atmosphere that resembles them, while reorganizing spaces and uses.

Home Design's intervention was part of a process of continuity and adjustment, respectful of existing furniture and attentive to architectural details, to create a coherent, bright and controlled interior. ‍

Clear expectations, rooted in what exists

Customers already had classic furniture, sometimes antique, which they wanted to keep. The project was therefore not intended to break the ground, but to enhance it: new parquet floors, white walls, reworked ceilings and the integration of discreet lighting made it possible to redefine the general atmosphere of the apartment. The challenge was to modernize the volumes without erasing the initial identity of the place or that of its occupants.

The SieMatic kitchen, open or closed, depending on the moment

At the heart of the apartment, the SieMatic PURE white lacquer kitchen is in a direct relationship with the living room. Two sliding doors integrated into the partitions allow the space to be opened or closed depending on the moment, creating a fluid continuity between the functions. A structuring central island accommodates a granite worktop, and integrates a niche with glass credenza. Designed for a couple without children, the kitchen also includes a breakfast area, sized for simple and direct daily use.

Bathrooms, between material and privacy

The guest toilet is treated as a space in its own right, with a sink integrated into the cloakroom and wallpaper chosen to provide material and atmosphere. The main bathroom is distinguished by the generous use of natural stone, identified as marble, present on the worktop, around the bathtub and in the Italian shower. An integrated bench and a countertop in the shower complete the layout. A second shower room, combined with another bedroom, has also been completely renovated.

Rooms and storage, everyday life put into perspective

The apartment includes several custom-made dressing rooms: some in white lacquer, others in oak, depending on the spaces concerned. In the rooms, false ceilings integrate lighting, contributing to a controlled atmosphere. A dedicated office has also been set up, with lateral storage, a central piece of furniture and an integrated niche, responding to precise and daily use. Each space is designed in a functional continuity, with no demonstrative effect.

Conclusion

This transformation on Avenue Louise illustrates a measured approach to interior architecture: intervening with precision, respecting what exists and dealing with the real uses of the occupants. By organizing kitchens, living spaces, storage and bathrooms around coherent choices, Home Design signs a project where each decision finds its place in a balanced set, designed to last.
