Nestled in the lush Elsdonk district of Edegem, moments away from the vibrant heart of Antwerp, House Fern embodies a thoughtful dialogue between architecture and nature. Surrounded by serene environment, it provides a sense of seclusion and calm while remaining closely connected to urban life. Inspired by the legacy of Pieter van Coudenberghe, the renowned 16th-century Antwerp botanist and apothecary, this home reflects a deep connection to the botanical world.
House Fern seamlessly blends sustainable materials, rhythmic architectural forms, and organic textures. Retaining the existing structure while introducing a refined upper level, the home balances light, shadow, and natural elements. Ideally located, it offers tranquillity with easy access to top schools, boutique stores, and local markets. The city centre, with its cultural and culinary highlights, is just a short distance away, combining urban convenience with a serene residential setting.
Expansive windows frame seasonal transformations, immersing the home in natural rhythms. Carefully curated interior scenarios ensure a constant dialogue between indoors and out, allowing nature to shape the home’s atmosphere throughout the day. Thoughtfully equipped with seamlessly integrated high-end appliances and refined amenities, the home offers exceptional comfort and convenience.
House Fern is more than a residence—it is a sanctuary for reflection, balance, and connection to nature. Guided by a caring and sustainable ethos, it seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, embracing authenticity and refined simplicity. With a thoughtful material palette and a design that fosters stillness and beauty, it redefines modern living through the lens of history, ecology, and design.
