Two Belgian artisans

Today I want to introduce you to 2 Belgian people, both artisans and creative in the outdoor sector.

 

Stijn Cornilly is a Belgian landscaper, creative in the design and construction of stylish, low maintenance gardens.

“An important specialization of our green business is bringing structure and strength in the garden.
Boxwood, holly and yew are ideally suited as basic elements for a good garden design. They are a permanent fixture in the garden.
A fixed value of remaining strength and decorative green opposite example, the colors of seasonal flowers and plants.” explains Styn Cornilly on his website.

 



Inside and outside are increasingly interconnected charged. Walls are no longer barriers. The landscaper creates a natural transition between interior and exterior. In his garden design he will take into account the style of house and home. Only then will be your green oasis a nice extension of the house.



To me he is a promising landscaper and I am an admirer of his work. Enjoy the pictures and judge for yourself what you think about the work of Stijn Cornilly!

The second person that I want you to meet today, is a master at designing and construction of beautiful farm buildings, fences and accessories, all related to the traditional Flemish country outdoor living and landscape architecture : Dirk Mortier.

His company is based in Everbeek-Beneden (Brakel) only a few steps from my home.

“When designing I strive for simple and pure concepts without unnecessary decorations. They hark back to the essential uses creating a strong and sober design arises. Many operations done with authentic tools and machinery. Thus we achieve a true-striking result. Behind our achievements of scenic beauty is a profound story of craft, use and culture.” explains Dirk Mortier on his website.

 



Rural architecture is characterized by including in the area available materials like stone, straw, wood, clay, etc. .. The use and application of these materials is a local process of thousands of years of experience and Dirk Mortier continues this traditional method - adapted to the current objectives.

Looking for a home extension or an outbuilding?

I have always loved the beautiful home extensions and oak constructions

of our Belgian company LLOYD HAMILTON.

Whether you want to choose for a home extension or you would love to have a charming outbuilding in your garden, you will love these Lloyd Hamilton constructions.

I have posted here some of my favorites.



I love how this company integrates their home extensions. They do make an effort to choose the right building materials required to extend your home in a way that it is not overwhelming, so that the house don’t loose its characteristics and authenticity. Proportions are very important!

Repeat of the roof slates.

Carefully chosen roof tiles matching the color of the existing roof.

A painted home extension here.



Love the inside of these constructions!





This is one of my favorites! A combination of a brick façade with oak constructed window frames and doors.

And what do you think of these oak constructions?

Dreaming of a place to barbecue this summer?

Or are you dreaming of a wonderful oak constructed pool house?

Or do you need a new car park?

Very Belgian-styled : brick façade, wooden doors, Belgian bluestone.

Don’t you admit that the inside of these oak constructions looks just fabulous?

The most important characteristic of these constructions is the use of wooden beams.

A detail of the earlier showed cottage styled home extension! How charming is this!

If you love to see more of these dream constructions, please visit the Lloyd Hamilton website :

Spend an Autumn weekend in your outbuilding or home extension

Hello to everyone! I know it’s already a week ago I wrote my last blogpost! I am so sorry for that, but it is a very busy period in business for me. I hope you will understand?!

Today I show you some images of the inside of beautiful outbuildings and home extensions!

AND AT THE END OF THIS POST, I HAVE A GORGEOUS VIDEO TO SHARE WITH YOU!!! I AM EXCITED ABOUT IT!!!

But before watching the video, I hope you will enjoy the images.

The outbuilding or home extension is one of the most wonderful places to relax, the enjoy the Autumn sun and beautiful fall colors! So, it is a nice place to spend an Autumn weekend.

Whether you love to be alone, reading a good book, or whether you love to invite friends for an Autumn meal, an outbuilding or home extension is a gorgeous place to enjoy your Autumn weekend.

So nice to have a fire place in your outbuilding.



Ready for your dinner with friends?



Beautiful fall colors.













AND NOW ABOUT THE PROMISED VIDEO !

I am sure that a lot you, my readers and blogfriends, will remember the images on below, seen in Veranda, a few years ago.

They are all of the gorgeous house of our Belgian couturier Edouard Vermeulen. His fashion label is called Natan.









The house is called the “Rozenhout” estate. It is an 18th century country house, or “gentilhommière, situated in a glorious parkland.

In close collaboration with the Belgian architect Raymond Rombouts, the original house was improved and a pavilion added.

Edouard Vermeulen - himself an interior designer before he made his name in the world of haute couture – took care of the interior decoration : a timeless and subtle color palette, in the same spirit of his exclusive collections.

This morning I watched the beautiful video of the house tour on a local TV station and I really wanted to share it with you!

It is a Dutch spoken video but you really don’t need to understand the Dutch language to enjoy this vido.

So, sit down, relax, click on the image below, open your computer on full screen and ENJOY !



I wish you all a fantastic Autumn weekend !!!
