This contemporary house in Belgium was designed by OYO's architecture team and appears to be sinking below ground. The modern home is located in the heart of Gent and features a facade that is built from a combination of stone, wood and glass materials.
'House Pibo' is a split-level home features an open-concept living area which is unexpectedly situated above its bedroom spaces. Despite of its protective and privacy-promoting design, this home surprisingly gives all of its spaces access to plenty of natural light.
The house in Belgium is also sustainable, featuring reclaimed wood finishes that give its interior spaces a warm and cozy feeling. Staying true to sustainable and simple design rules that are synonymous with a Scandinavian style, OYO's architecture team creates a modern residence that marries imagination with function.
