Private Residence, Bonheiden (BE)
Warm Simplicity x Sleek Design
Escape into a world of modern elegance with this stunning home that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. Characterized by clean lines and a contemporary aesthetic, this villa exudes sophistication while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Designed by Mossoux Architecten
Nicolas Mossoux, owner of Mossoux Architecten, is no stranger to crafting beautiful projects. However, when he embarked on designing his own home, he knew it needed to be truly extraordinary. With an unwavering commitment to timeless design and a keen eye for detail, Nicolas has created a contemporary residence that is both sophisticated and elegant.
Connecting indoor & outdoor
As you step through the front door, your gaze is immediately drawn to the breathtaking view of the surrounding forest. The villa's design masterfully merges indoor and outdoor living, establishing a harmonious flow between the two. This seamless integration is achieved by extending the use of the facade’s brickwork to the exterior spaces and ceilings, providing a subtle boundary that invites relaxation amid serene surroundings.

The heart of the house
The dining area serves as the true centrepiece of this home, connecting all spaces. Bathed in natural light from every angle, the room showcases a dynamic play of light and shadow that enhances the architecture, particularly the striking staircase. Large windows flood the space with daylight, while the pool's shimmering reflection on the ceiling creates a magical ambiance.
Setting the mood
While large windows bring in natural light during the day, it's the strategic positioning and selection of lighting that transform the space into a cosy and inviting atmosphere at night. Achieving the perfect combination of decorative, general, and accent lighting was essential. Nicolas Mossoux collaborated with our in-house Light Study team and local partner, Cone Lighting, to create a bespoke lighting design. This design, featuring dimming technology, ensures the desired ambiance in every room.

Earthy tones & materials
Nicolas’ home is a serene oasis, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Every element has been carefully chosen to create a sense of harmony and tranquillity. The consistent use of materials such as travertine, dark oiled oak veneer, light beige micro topping, bronze exterior joinery, bronze luminaires, bronze switchgear, and light beige fabrics, contributes to a calming atmosphere. These materials are not only durable but also rich in character and warmth, reflecting the beauty of nature.
