Private villa
Schilde, Belgium
Materiality and warmth
Nestled in Schilde, Belgium, this private villa exemplifies a thoughtful balance between architecture, materiality, and lighting. Architect Dennis T’Jampens designed a home where natural materials—light oak, blackened steel, and stone—create a warm, cohesive palette that is both sophisticated and inviting. Central to the interior experience are Kreon lighting fixtures, carefully selected not just for their performance but also for their material presence. The brushed bronze finish of the fixtures introduces a subtle metallic warmth, enhancing the textures of the walls, floors, and furniture. Fixtures like the ato 80 single, aplis in-line 40, and esprit ceiling are seamlessly integrated to highlight architectural lines while enriching the tactile and visual character of the space.
Light and spatial harmony
The villa’s design emphasizes openness and flow, with expansive glass walls that dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape. Natural light pours through the home, creating a dynamic interplay of brightness and shadow, while Kreon lighting accentuates volumes, textures, and functional areas throughout the residence. Directional and in-line fixtures subtly shape the atmosphere, ensuring that every corner of the villa feels luminous yet intimate. The combination of natural light, architectural transparency, and the warm glow of the brushed bronze fixtures results in a residence that is not only visually striking but also emotionally resonant—a perfect demonstration of how thoughtful lighting can transform space.
