A RECYCLED HOUSE İN BELGİUM

Mamout Architecture Studio from Belgium has created the Dailly House, situated between two buildings and constructed using materials reclaimed from a dismantled warehouse.

Dailly is arranged around two courtyards, featuring vibrant spaces filled with reclaimed materials.

"The project derives from its urban location and the need for direct natural light in all rooms," says Matthieu Busana, founder of Mamout. "Hence, the concept emerged as a low, long house lit by courtyards."

Dailly's exterior maintains a minimalist aesthetic with white-painted walls. Large windows, portions of green tiles, and exposed brickwork enliven the design. Inside, the project showcases a palette of reclaimed materials, including brick and steel sourced from the warehouse that was dismantled as part of this project.

The ground floor houses a double-height living room and a semi-open dining space bordered by folding glass doors leading to the rear garden. A large concrete arch serves as the entrance to the kitchen, featuring a polished marble floor and a reflective metal island. Accents of color, such as long blue tiles and sage-green window frames, are integrated throughout the interior. Above the kitchen and dining space, a fluted ceiling emphasizes the curving geometries across the ground floor, framing views of the back garden.

Dailly's living room, with its high ceiling, features reclaimed bricks, a sloping roof painted in blue, and large windows offering views into the courtyards.

A balcony with pale blue railings hangs over the living space, leading to a rotating staircase that ascends to the main bedroom. On the balcony's other side, two bedrooms and a bathroom are located. The top floor of Dailly features an additional bedroom, with an inclined ceiling painted in pale pink.
