Exceptional Architect-Designed House – Albert Bontridder (1958)

A remarkable work by architect Albert Bontridder, this house, built in 1958 and later extended by the architect himself, is a true piece of modernist architecture, imbued with poetry.

Offering approximately 290 m² gross on a plot of 557 m², it underwent a complete renovation in 2022, carefully respecting the original project while integrating today’s standards of comfort: new boiler, high-performance insulation, underfloor heating, new window frames, compliant electricity, bespoke cupboards and worktops, polished concrete floors and wooden flooring, VIPP kitchen.

The house is arranged around three volumes, between which light flows with great fluidity.

The children’s volume, on the street side, opens onto urban life and includes two bedrooms and a full bathroom.

The central volume accommodates the living areas: a large bespoke kitchen, dining room with open fireplace and patio with water feature, creating a soothing continuity between indoors and outdoors.

The rear volume, facing the garden, is dedicated to the parents: a living room with a second open fireplace and direct access to the garden, a large adjoining office, and upstairs, a master suite with terrace, bathroom and dressing room.

The office and living room area could easily be converted into two additional bedrooms, or used for a liberal profession.

A rare house, both a work of art and a contemporary place to live, where the poetry of modernist architecture meets present-day comfort.

The furniture is not included in the sale.
