Timeless design in Knokke: Unidevelop x Huysman Architects x SUMUM
Nestled at the end of a quiet cobblestone driveway in Knokke, this new coastal villa stands as a testament to timeless design. Built by Unidevelop , conceived by Huysman Architects , this villa offers a masterclass in spatial harmony, capturing the elusive balance between expansive openness and intimate privacy. From the very first impression, the home reflects the same quiet sophistication that defines SUMUM , where refined design and thoughtful detail come together.
The architectural vision of Stephanie Huysman
Architect Stephanie Huysman specializes in bespoke, high-end residential architecture. Her work relies on a minimalist aesthetic rooted in refined, natural materials. The coastal villa features a captivating interplay of whitewashed walls and intersecting thatched rooflines. A rather closed front facade ensures tranquility, while the fully glazed rear elevation connects the home intimately with the surrounding gardens and pool. This approach creates an immense sense of space while fiercely protecting the residents' privacy.
Crafting homes with comfort, quality, and elegance
Unidevelop is a company focused on developing high-quality, sustainable housing and apartments. They specialize in both new construction projects and renovations, particularly in the region of the Belgian coast. Unidevelop combines modern design with functional and aesthetic solutions, ensuring a high standard of quality and comfort in their projects.
To bring the interior to life, architect Stephanie Huysman collaborated closely with the interior architect at Unidevelop . Together, they curated an environment defined by superior craftsmanship and tactile elegance.
The material selection grounds the home in organic luxury. Every surface invites touch, establishing an atmosphere of sophisticated warmth that resonates seamlessly from the grand entrance to the intimate master bathroom.
