A Minimalist Shell, Rich in Material Contrast
Cottreel Architecten operates from a philosophy that every project, whether a house in a rural setting or an urban conversion, deserves architecture with clarity, identity, and a well‑considered balance between form and function.
Kenny & Mason, with its long tradition of master tap making, brings the same commitment to detail and quality.
Together, the collaboration is about celebrating material honesty, architectural presence, and design that endures.
Photography by Kurt De Scheemaeker subtly captures the calm, the contrast, and the crafted quality that define this shared vision.
Architecture Shaped by Materials
In this collaborative project, the spaces designed by Cottreel are grounded in tactile materials; natural stone, solid timber, and subtle textures provide warmth and sensory richness.
Light weaves through the architecture, shaping volumes and revealing surfaces in delicate contrast. It is a restrained palette; nothing is ostentatious, but everything is considered.
Kenny & Mason’s Brandwood taps are selected to reinforce these qualities.
With finishes like Old Brass bringing a soft, natural patina, the faucets harmonise with wood tones and stone hues.
Their forms are modest and their presence is felt through texture, weight, and finish, not through grand gestures.
Brandwood in Gesture and Function
The Brandwood collection complements Cottreel Architecten’s careful detailing:
In the washroom, a Brandwood mixer with a single, rounded control sits poised above a stone basin; a sculptural moment that supports, rather than dominates, the simplicity.
Its finish in aged brass offers a warmth that evolves; acquiring character as light touches it and time passes.
Every detail, from the angle of the spout to the curvature of its form, aligns with the architectural rhythm and material restraint.
With Cottreel Architects, small gestures matter; the turn of a control, the glint of light on a brass surface, the way water flows in silence. These are the subtle points where architecture becomes lived experience.
Durability, Presence, and Grace
What distinguishes this partnership is not only aesthetic alignment but also a shared commitment to lasting value.
The residence feels alive through touch; the floor offers softness, the stone holds coolness, and the taps bring the reassuring weight of true craftsmanship.
Luxury here is quiet. It is found in spaces that comfort, that centre the inhabitants, and that mature gracefully over time.
The Brandwood taps from Kenny & Mason are perfect companions to this vision; made from solid brass, finished in a living Old Brass tone, and built with both authenticity and longevity in mind.
Their timeless design ensures that they will continue to serve not only as fixtures, but as part of the architectural story.
