We discovered a charming garden house at the end of a garden in Brussels. The existing structure is beautiful but beyond saving, so we draw inspiration from it and start anew. We work with three planes: the facade, the roof, and the cabinetry. These three planes are organized into a structural rhythm of 5 x 5 x 5 meters, coming together at a single construction node. In this way, we create the new drawing room as if it were a piece of furniture.
