    "body": "<p>Belgian architect and designer <strong>Beno&icirc;t Viaene</strong> unveils four new residential projects across Belgium, further consolidating his position as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary European design. Spanning coastal, rural, and river landscapes, these projects embody a singular vision: one where architecture, furniture, and craftsmanship converge into a unified, deeply sensorial experience.</p><hr /><h4 id=\"benoit-viaene-architecture-shaped-by-hand\" ><strong>Beno&icirc;t Viaene: Architecture Shaped by Hand</strong></h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">Based in Ghent and originally from Kortrijk, Beno&icirc;t Viaene has built, over the past fifteen years, a distinctive practice that resists categorisation. Trained at the <strong>Henry van de Velde Institute in Antwerp</strong>, he operates at the intersection of architecture, interior design, and collectible furniture&mdash;developing spaces that are as tactile as they are conceptual.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">At the core of Viaene&rsquo;s work lies an uncompromising relationship to <strong>materiality</strong>. Rather than treating materials as finishes, he approaches them as <strong>generative elements</strong>&mdash;the starting point of each project. Wood is carved and textured, stone is shaped into inhabitable forms, glass is cast to reveal its imperfections, and textiles are integrated as architectural layers. Each material is selected and transformed through a close dialogue with artisans, resulting in environments that carry the imprint of the hand.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">This philosophy extends to every scale. In Viaene&rsquo;s projects, architecture and furniture are conceived as a whole. Custom-designed pieces&mdash;tables, cabinets, lighting, even door handles&mdash;are not additions, but <strong>integral parts of the spatial composition</strong>. The result is a total work, where every detail contributes to a coherent and poetic narrative.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Rejecting standardisation and rigid geometries, Viaene&rsquo;s architecture embraces <strong>organic forms, soft transitions, and fluid spatial sequences</strong>. His interiors invite a physical and emotional engagement, offering a contemporary alternative to the increasingly homogenised language of luxury living.</p><hr /><h4 id=\"a-new-series-of-residential-projects-in-belgium\" ><strong>A New Series of Residential Projects in Belgium</strong></h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">These four new projects&mdash;each rooted in a distinct context&mdash;demonstrate the breadth and consistency of Viaene&rsquo;s approach. Together, they form a body of work that explores how architecture can respond to landscape, craft, and the lives of its inhabitants.</p><hr /><h4 id=\"dune-villa-knokke-belgium\" ><strong>&ldquo;Dune Villa&rdquo;, Knokke (Belgium)</strong></h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">Located on the Belgian coast, within a dense fabric of holiday residences, <em>Dune Villa</em> distinguishes itself through its <strong>material richness and spatial fluidity</strong>.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Inside, layers of texture unfold in a carefully orchestrated composition: a <strong>patchwork leather kitchen</strong>, kilim-clad cabinetry, and hand-worked wooden surfaces create a tactile environment that contrasts with the often-neutral language of seaside architecture.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Rather than dividing the home into clearly defined rooms, Viaene proposes a <strong>continuous living landscape</strong>. The kitchen, dining area, and lounge flow seamlessly into one another, connected through subtle shifts in material and form. This openness fosters both conviviality and intimacy, allowing the space to adapt to different rhythms of use.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">In <em>Dune Villa</em>, material becomes structure, and structure becomes atmosphere&mdash;transforming a conventional coastal residence into a <strong>sensory retreat</strong>.</p><div\n    id='gallery-2586617e-6e74-4e15-b67f-5d3b7e7a6623'\n

id=\"crafted-along-the-river-sint-martens-latem-belgium\" ><strong>&ldquo;Crafted Along the River&rdquo; &mdash; Sint-Martens-Latem (Belgium)</strong></h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">Set along the banks of the Lys River, in the historic region of Latem, this family home establishes a <strong>direct and intimate dialogue with nature</strong>.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Completed in June 2025, the project is defined by its <strong>extensive use of wood and raw materials</strong>, which extend the surrounding landscape into the interior. Floors, walls, and built-in elements are treated as continuous surfaces, blurring the boundary between inside and outside.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">The house is conceived as a <strong>refuge</strong>, balancing openness with privacy. Large openings frame views of the river and gardens, while more enclosed areas offer moments of retreat. Light plays a central role, shifting throughout the day and interacting with the textures of the materials to create a calm, evolving atmosphere.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Here, Viaene&rsquo;s architecture becomes almost <strong>landscape-like</strong>&mdash;a quiet, grounded presence that enhances rather than dominates its setting.</p><div\n

id=\"the-makers-house-londerzeel-belgium\" ><strong>&ldquo;The Maker&rsquo;s House&rdquo; &mdash; Londerzeel (Belgium)</strong></h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">Designed for a couple, one of whom is a ceramic artist, <em>The Maker&rsquo;s House</em> is both a home and a place of creation.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">The project integrates a <strong>fully functional workshop</strong> within the domestic environment, dissolving the boundary between living and making. This duality becomes the central theme of the house: a continuous exchange between <strong>craft and daily life</strong>.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Viaene&rsquo;s exploration of materials resonates directly with the practice of ceramics. Sculpted wood, textured surfaces, and custom elements echo the gestures of shaping and modelling. Throughout the house, bespoke tiles and handcrafted finishes create a dialogue with the resident&rsquo;s work, embedding artistic production into the architecture itself.</p><p style=\"text-align:

id=\"the-art-retreat-home-nokere-belgium\" ><strong>&ldquo;The Art Retreat Home&rdquo; &mdash; Nokere (Belgium)</strong></h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">Nestled within the rural landscape of the Flemish Ardennes, <em>The Art Retreat Home</em> transforms a family house into a space dedicated to <strong>art, contemplation, and slow living</strong>.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Commissioned by passionate collectors, the project reimagines the home as a <strong>hybrid between living space and gallery</strong>. Rather than imposing a neutral backdrop, Viaene integrates the artworks into the architecture, allowing them to coexist with the materials, volumes, and light.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">The intervention respects the existing structure while introducing a <strong>new, contemporary reading</strong>. Carefully calibrated proportions, natural materials, and controlled lighting conditions create an environment that enhances the presence of the artworks without overwhelming them.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">The result is a home that is both intimate and curated&mdash;a place where art is not displayed, but <strong>lived with</strong>.</p><div\n
