2019

• Location : Pajottenland

In a beautiful, green and hilly area West from Brussels, Grond Studio updated a charming farmhouse by removing the old earthen material and replacing it. The original architecture and colours were kept. The farmhouse was built more than 100 years ago with traditional and local materials.

Today, this contextual use of materials and methods is referred to as vernacular architecture and moves far away from standardised, uniform and undistinguishable construction materials and techniques where even aspects like local climate, cultural use and geography play a role.
