Architecture studio OYO presents its latest renovation project of the derelict Dune House located in Belgium. The home in lined with wood in the interiors with the purpose of bringing a more harmonious connection with nature from within. It is half engulfed in the sandy plot and the team elevates the home in a more modern way. The changes celebrate the structure and existing character of the space.
OYO Architects explains to Dezeen, "We did not want to interfere with the authentic feel: the derelict house was charming, well-oriented and had an interesting layout which we preserved to a large extent. The clients were looking for a house where they could swim together, play with the grandchildren, cook for family and enjoy dinners at home. We wanted to design a sustainable, long-lasting home without compromising on living comfort and connection to bring the house into more harmony with the nature of the dunes."
