About Residence in Knokke-Heist
Reinventing Tradition: Architect De Beir’s Coastal Haven
In Knokke, at Belgium’s edge near the Dutch border, stands the reinvented residence of architect De Beir. While it echoes the previous villa’s style, this home reveals a contemporary soul.
Entering the property, visitors are greeted by the garden. A winding path leads to the kitchen, which opens onto a lush terrace. This green oasis evokes the nearby sea and sandy beach.
A Modern Twist Beneath a Thatched Roof
Despite its traditional thatched roof, the home surprises with modern interiors and spacious rooms. The use of large windows and materials from Italy, Germany, and the Czech Republic enhances this effect.
White walls and floors amplify the brightness, offering a tranquil ambiance. Smoked larch features add warmth, while dark brown iron, Grè dolomite stone, and bespoke blown glass provide sophistication.
Sophistication Meets the Sea
The residence marries extreme refinement with simplicity. It’s a stone’s throw from the North Sea, providing a unique blend of elegance and coastal charm.
