Natural Home Renovations

Belgian House Extension Keeps It Organic and Cutting Edge

— September 23, 2009 — Eco
Home renovations and extensions are generally boring, but not if you are the lucky owners of this Belgian abode. Wim Goes Architectuur has brought the funk with this nature embracing Belgian house extension.

The Belgian house extension has, according to TheCoolHunter.net, “natural, graying wood, the green vegetation and the blue sky and pond create a harmonious balance, accented by the slim vertical lines of the largest surfaces. Goes’ signature style combines intentional, unpretentious simplicity with functional clarity and results in stark beauty with Japanese-Finnish undertones.”

All this leaves one to wonder, with regard to the Belgian house extension, when the move in date is?

3. Minimalist Home Design - Homeowners and designers can take inspiration from Goes' signature style that combines intentional, unpretentious simplicity with functional clarity to create a stark yet beautiful living space.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects and home builders could integrate natural and sustainable designs into home renovations and extensions to cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly living spaces.
2. Home Building - Home builders could explore innovative building materials and techniques to create sustainable and nature-inspired spaces in home renovations and extensions.
