Cubic Retro Retreats

This 1960s Renovated Bungalow Still Retains Some Vintage Charm

This beautifully renovated bungalow will take you back in time the minute you step into it. Its structure is reminiscent of architecture that was popular in the 60s -- when bungalow-like structures were favored over multi-storey mansions and eccentric villa designs.

Located on the outskirts of Bruges, Belgium, this renovated bungalow by CUBYC architects is built on a vast green lawn that gives the residents the utmost privacy in their retro retreat. The unique design element about this bungalow is not only its cubic modern design, but the large canopies protecting the home from overheating.

Having to completely renovate every aspect of the home, from its foundations to its design to its interiors because the home could no longer provide comfort and energy requirements, the architects gave it the perfect makeover.

Ironically, the interior design of this renovated bungalow is ultra modern and minimalist.
