Garden

A wood-burning fireplace framed by a wooden mantelpiece sits below detailed cornicing on one section of the wall in the dining room.

The house is a glass box that appears to float over the highest point in Bilzen, Belgium. The subterranean bedrooms are cut into a knoll, a move inspired by the hilly region’s roads, which were traditionally dug into the landscape.

The rear garden is filled with ferns, sedges, lowbush blueberry, and a poplar tree growing out of a rock face.
