Sint-Anna, located in Kortrijk, Belgium, is a building that combines natural materials with a modern aesthetic. Its unique location gives the house a fascinating view of the landscape, reminiscent of those medieval modern homes tucked away in the hills of Los Angeles.

The design of the house is characterized by the simplicity and elegance of the horizontal lines, and the extended eaves not only enhance visual fluency, but also provide practical shading. The contrast between the wooden facade and the white brick walls is sharp and harmonious, showing both a warm texture and highlighting the geometry of the building. The greenery and the grey flagstone walkway harmonize with the building, making it seem as if it were growing out of the ground.

Decancq Vercruysse visited the site for the first time at night and were fascinated by the 'glowing' building, which set the tone for the space throughout the design process.

Decancq Vercruysse's design concept is determined by the special structure of the house: the upper floor is the main living space, including the living room, dining room and open kitchen, so that the residents feel like they are in the canopy of trees and experience the pleasure of being with nature; The bedroom is located on the ground floor, with a reasonable and effective functional zoning, and at the same time, it can enjoy the outdoor view.

The core of the house is the living room, and the hanging fireplace is the visual focus of the space. It is not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a sculptural existence. The simple shape of the black metal contrasts with the green outside the glass window, forming a modern artistic atmosphere. The metal coffee table in the center balances the whole with its calm texture, making the scene both natural and contemporary.

On the whole, Sint-Anna not only reflects the satisfaction of function, but also conveys respect for nature through materials and architectural language, and also shows a quiet way of life. By combining the advantages of height with the subtlety of design, the owner is able to immerse himself in the poetic life "above the tree canopy". When night falls, the house radiates a warm glow, like a beacon on the mountain, waiting for the beautiful family and the surrounding nature.
