By
Jon Astbury
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Two Belgian architecture studios, Atelier Avondzon and Macadam Atelier, have renovated a derelict home in Ghent, Belgium, adding a sawtooth-roofed extension with corrugated-metal panels to create a "factory-like aesthetic." The project, named Rinskopf, was designed to blend with the industrial surroundings and has been shortlisted in the house renovation category of Dezeen Awards 2025.
