Modernism by Albert, Brevers & Vigneron

Set within nearly two hectares of woodland in Sommethonne, this exceptional modernist residence from 1977 was designed by Bruno Albert, Christian Brevers and André Vigneron. Inspired by the architectural vision of Charles Vandenhove, they created a timeless retreat where nature, space and conviviality come together. A private driveway of approximately 100 metres leads to the striking white and glazed structure, discreetly integrated into the rolling landscape of the Belgian Gaume. At the heart of the house, a sculptural pine staircase and a terracotta brick fireplace define an impressive living area of approximately 100 sqm. Various seating and dining spaces flow naturally around this central feature. Expansive glazing frames the surrounding landscape, while pine ceilings, exposed brickwork and ceramic floors with underfloor heating create a warm, authentic atmosphere. The property offers three bedrooms, two with private bathrooms and toilets, and a spacious mezzanine beneath the pitched roof. Distinctive circular windows provide beautiful views across the countryside. Additional amenities include a study, sauna with shower, double garage, storage room and wine cellar. Sheltered wooden terraces extend the living spaces into the garden. Almost fifty years after its construction, the house retains its original architectural identity. A rare example of Belgian 1970s modernism, offering exceptional privacy and tranquillity in a remarkable natural setting.
