GM house by Simon De Burbure
honouring the old
Simon began by peeling the structure back to its core, carefully analysing the original forms and flow. From there, he reimagined the space as a tranquil refuge respecting its past while enhancing it with a soft modern sensibility. For Simon, architecture is not just about design, but about emotion. His goal was to craft a home that evokes a sense of calm, connection, and understated beauty.
natural elegance
Materials were selected with intention. Warm oak introduces natural warmth, while dark green natural stone reflects the hues of the surrounding landscape. Subtly textured lime-plastered walls provide a soft, rustic counterpoint. These materials speak the language of the land, forging a seamless connection between the house and its rural context.
a play on light and shadow
Light, always essential in Simon’s work, was carefully guided into the space. Filtered through the trees outside, it animates the interiors with a rhythmic play of shadows, emphasizing depth and texture. Delicate cannage details - one of Simon’s signature touches - add refinement without excess, contributing to the serene and inviting atmosphere.
