Home for Life by Karel Verstraeten
Home for Life sits in Ghent, Belgium, as a compact house for a retired couple by architect Karel Verstraeten. The single-storey home arranges daily life across an accessible plan, then tucks a small loft under the gabled roof for visiting grandchildren. Warm timber surfaces, generous circular windows, and chimney-like roof volumes keep the mood domestic and bright while the layout quietly anticipates future care.
