Jessy Van Gorp | Minimalist Residences in Antwerp, Belgium - Low-key Elegant Tranquility and Lightness

Residence Z is a minimalist residence in Antwerp, Belgium, designed by Jessy Van Gorp. The architectural design ensures that every window can see the surrounding leaves or trimmed lawns, forming a seamless link with nature. Tailored to the unique needs of residents, the design process communicates the client's need for space potential and natural light to form a cohesive and serene living environment. The guiding principle of this project is to create a light, airy, low-key and elegant space that emphasizes a calm, warm atmosphere that allows people to relax after a busy day. The home is characterized by a series of interconnected spaces, each of which has its own characteristics, but is unified in design.

The palette transitions from the off-white tones of the kitchen to the subtle “pink clay” tones of the dining table, to beige and black/brown tones of the seating area, the latter effortlessly opening into a cozy TV corner. This layout not only facilitates the flow of the entire family, but also allows for varying degrees of privacy and connection between residents. Natural light plays a key role in the interior of the house, and the expanded glass section welcomes the sun, highlighting the building's silhouette, creating dynamic visual effects. A notable feature is the large sliding door of the restaurant, which protects the privacy of the home office and also exposes the lush outdoor scenery. The master bathroom is equipped with a sauna and a hydromassage shower, which benefits from carefully positioned lighting to emphasize its stylish design.

The commitment to the use of simple and natural materials is emblematic of this residential design concept. The ground floor showcases textured natural stone, while the bathroom features marble with bold patterns, all organically arranged. The choice of wood from light tones to brushed oak in dark tones, as well as finishes such as natural lime plaster and textiles made of linen, wool and cotton, underscored the designers' preference for natural elements. This preference is reflected in the residential color scheme, which uses soothing whites, beige and dark browns punctuated with a striking “pink earthenware”.
