Patio House / Studio Okami Architects

After years abroad, our client sought to return to Belgium, embracing retirement and reconnecting with family and friends. With a long-held plot in a quintessential Belgian neighborhood, he envisioned a free-standing home that merges the conveniences of apartment living with the serenity of rural landscapes. The site, framed by uninspired neighboring houses yet boasting stunning views to the west, inspired a design that filters out the clutter and embraces natural light throughout the day.
