Extended Timber-Clad Home Designs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Britsom Philips Designs the Villa VD Extension

— October 10, 2023 — Art & Design
Belgian design studio Britzom Philips finished the Villa VD, which is an extension defined by its timber-clad build in Flanders. It is the latest addition to a small rural home with minimal design language and light-centric living areas. The home is found within a woodland in the village of Waasmunster with a thatched root on top.

The core of the home is retained and used it for the staircase, utility spaces, and bathrooms. Co-founder of Britzom Philips, Sofie Philips explains to Dezeen that "The existing house was a bourgeois interpretation of rural living, as was the style during the eighties. The reconversions aim to translate this rural aspect into a landscape-oriented design, by opening up the facades to the surrounding garden."
