In a green dead-end street nearby Mechelen, House VMVK II has been engineered in 2022 by dmvA. This house, a renovation and extension of a 1960’s villa in Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Belgium, wanted to promote a maximum experience of the surrounding nature. The architecture blends in with nature. The existing volume has remained white, while the new additions are executed in black, framed by a glass façade.
