HISTORY :
The 16th century farmhouse in Westerlo (Belgium) has been selected as a candidate for the Flemish Monument Prize Province of Antwerp.
Recently this farmhouse has been completely rebuilt, restored, and converted into a doctor's office.
The history of this historic farmhouse dates back to 1595. In the 17th century it was a part of The Abbey of Tongerlo.
It survived the Boer War in 1798 and in 2002 it was listed as a monument by historic preservation because of its historical value.
Five years ago the new owner, a Home and Sports Doctor, wanted to restore the monument.
For the interior design of his doctor’s office and sportslab he hired VAN STAEYEN INTERIEUR ARCHITECTEN.
GOAL :
The challenge for Interior Architect Johan Van Staeyen was to transfer the old farmhouse into a pleasant and modern professional space for the doctor and his patients.
CONSTRAINT :
Because the building is a protected monument there were some restrictions in regards to what materials could be used. Within a loose structure, independent of the existing walls, old and new were harmoniously brought together.
SOLUTION :
Van Staeyen was given carte blanche within a defined budget.
The old farmhouse had a lot of character which Van Staeyen absolutely wanted to keep. The end result being charm and authenticity combined with functionality.
