Summary
Brussels-based architecture studio Hé! has renovated a traditional Flemish farmhouse in Belgium's Pajottenland region by replacing the traditional roof with a glazed timber and metal structure to create a new living space. The project, called Omloop Farmhouse, was designed to improve the home's connection with nature and the surrounding landscape. The owners purchased the property in the 1990s and commissioned the studio to transform the upper floor into a modern, light-filled space while maintaining the traditional character of the Flemish architecture.
