Interior architecture studio Atelier 10.8, led by Julie Thiers and Henri Van Den Broeke, were tasked with designing a new Belgian farmhouse that showcased a modern interior with a rural touch. 

The owners, expecting their first child which was born in the same week of their move, wanted their farmhouse to feel spacious with an open plan layout. This was realised in a light-filled, pared-down family home that unveils the inviting characteristics of a modern Flemish farmhouse.the design process was incredibly bespoke, shaped by the expectations of their clients and hopes for the future. They translated this into an open plan layout across two levels, devoid of segmented shared spaces and interior doors. 

A separate dining room would take up too much of the space, so Atelier 10.8 integrated the dining room in the kitchen.The kitchen joinery is deliberately the same colour as the walls, to seamlessly mingle with the interior and not draw attention away from the home’s material highlights.Materials distinguish each space from another, layered in true Belgian minimalist style. 

The Flanders Farmhouse achieves a harmony of elements through its custom interior details. Be it the soft, curved walls or the integrated joinery, the Atelier 10.8 team have ensured the home looks to the future in true Flemish style. Warm, understated yet entirely refined, the Flanders Farmhouse by Atelier 10.8 is a case study for Belgian Flemish style in the home.
