Totaalrenovatie voor open bebouwing in Mechelen

In Mechelen, Cralux gave this open-plan home a complete exterior renovation. The sloped roof, dormer, side gables and flat roof were insulated with 12 cm of insulation, and the facade was fully renovated: insulation plates bonded and chemically anchored, a reinforcement mesh in the base plaster, and a timeless white crepi (render) finish. Caption Caption Caption A Vietnamese blue stone plinth protects and refines the base, while new windows and doors complete the envelope. The result is a brighter, contemporary look that is also far more energy-efficient and future-proof.

‘The Good Life’ embodied in the design of this simple yet highly functional suburban home

Located on a generous suburban site in Fairfield, Australia, the ‘Good Life House’ by MRTN Architects takes advantage of a long northern boundary to let natural light and warmth into each and every living, eating, and sleeping space. Credit: Dave Kulesza Though contemporary in its expression, the form and siting of the house compliments and harmonizes with existing older period homes that surround it, while a generous front setback and front garden spaces make a green contribution to the streetscape. Credit: Dave Kulesza The material palette here consists of burnished concrete, wire cut bricks, and timber for a warm and welcoming feel.
