The project in pictures
Brussels flat — bespoke almond-green bookcases, black marble fireplace, panelling and original parquet.
Storage becomes interior architecture
Large almond-green storage units frame the fireplace and structure the living space. Their presence goes beyond storage alone: they give the wall a sense of scale, organise objects and books and create a coherent backdrop for the furniture.
The wooden surfaces and seafoam-green panelling carry this logic through into the details.
Showing the making, too
The gallery includes a view of the panelling while it was being painted. This image adds some depth to the story of the project: it shows a real stage of the work without needing to detail the full scope of the site.
