'S' is for Stylish in this House by Crepain Binst Architecture

— December 5, 2009 — Art & Design

Inside, the home features dark floors, white paneled walls and a gorgeous glass finish. Both the exterior and the interior have a very modern look that will definitely attract the attention of passersby.
