CIRCL designed a compact but playful new-build home in Westerlo for a couple with an eye for practical quality of life. The design is based on a clear plan, in which every square metre is used wisely without compromising on comfort or spaciousness.

The home combines an open-plan kitchen and living room as a central meeting point, with one bedroom, a bathroom, office, toilet and storage room. The brick and thermowood façades bring warmth and character, while the interplay of materials creates a balance between robustness and refinement.

The garden is an essential part of the design. It is conceived as an extension of the living space, with attention to planting and a green, peaceful environment. An integrated carport and garden shed complete the picture and make it practical to use.

This home shows how compact living can be functional, pleasant and green at the same time — perfectly tailored to the needs of a couple who consciously choose quality and comfort.
