Nestled in the Touro/Bouligny neighborhood and brimming with character, the house had fallen into disrepair, deterring most potential buyers. Its classic double shotgun footprint measuring 25 x 75 posed unique challenges, while a tight budget demanded creative solutions. Yet, for Seamus and Kara McGuire, this was a canvas begging for transformation.

The Hertogensite residences are located at the edge of the medieval center of Leuven, an important university city near Brussels. The project forms part of a master plan for the redevelopment of a former hospital campus that had previously divided the west of the city from the center and as such will contribute to the opening of the site and its reintegration into the surrounding city. Set on a narrow site between a fragment of the city’s medieval wall and a branch of the River Dijle, the development is unique in that it combines several residential typologies: a 14-story tower, nine townhouses, and a small apartment block, uniting them in a single building.

In the heart of Milan, the renovation project of an apartment represents a balance between architectural tradition and contemporary living. In fact, the intervention aimed to enhance the historical elements of the architectural envelope, such as wooden and plaster frames, the original marble fireplace, and the typical symmetries of historic Milanese architecture; while at the same time integrating a contemporary and functional design into the interiors inspired by Scandinavian and Japanese design. This offers a relaxing and serene environment, characterized by clean lines through the use of ephemeral and light partitions, almost reminiscent of screens, and natural and pure materials with a palette of neutral and warm colors, with particular attention to the tactile qualities of natural materials and a passion for craftsmanship. This contrast between traditional containers and modern content creates a fascinating dialogue, where history and modernism coexist harmoniously.
Embedded in the sincerity of Møn, a transformational project emerges, blending with the island’s architectural heritage characterized by admiration for the necessary.
