A Minimalist Shell, Rich in Material Contrast
This Antwerp home by Jim Dierckx Architecture captures the essence of restrained sophistication.
At first glance, it appears minimalist: clean volumes, serene lines, and a calm tonal palette.
But step closer, and you’ll notice layers of thoughtful materiality, soft limestone, textured wood, delicate textile, and sculpted forms.
Nothing is excessive, yet every detail speaks volumes.
Photography by Cafeïne, Thomas De Bruyne, beautifully captures the calm intensity and material richness of the space.
Architecture that Frames the Everyday
In the DN Residence, architecture does not overwhelm.
It frames daily life.
The open layout offers fluid transitions between rooms, while subtle level shifts and sightlines create rhythm.
The result is a sense of openness without losing intimacy.
In this context, Kenny & Mason’s Brandwood taps bring a soft, tactile balance to the otherwise sleek design language.
Their presence is deliberate yet understated, adding heritage charm without disrupting the purity of the space.
Brandwood by Kenny & Mason: Functional Poetry
The Brandwood collection seamlessly fits into Jim Dierckx’s architectural philosophy, where form follows atmosphere and materials tell the story.
In the bathroom, the Brandwood mixer stands gracefully over the natural stone basin like a crafted sculpture.
Its single, elegantly rounded mixer knob offers smooth, intuitive control, complementing the clean lines of the cabinetry.
Finished in Old Brass with a natural patina, the taps develop a unique, warm character over time, enhancing the tactile and visual harmony within the space.
Each tap becomes part of the architecture. Not an accessory, but a statement.
Built to Last, Designed to Feel
What makes this residence exceptional is not only its visual harmony but also its tactile clarity.
Every material invites touch and interaction. The floors feel soft and warm underfoot, the walls gently absorb and diffuse natural light, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere.
The Brandwood taps, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, feel cool and smooth in the hand, their weight and finish offering a sense of quality that elevates everyday routines.
This is luxury at its most restrained — understated yet deeply felt. It is a design built not to impress, but to provide lasting comfort, to ground the inhabitants in their space, and to age gracefully alongside the home itself.
The Brandwood taps are the perfect companion to this vision. Made from high-quality materials like solid brass with an Old Brass finish, they develop a unique patina over time, enhancing their warmth and character.
Their timeless design and durable craftsmanship ensure that they remain a functional and beautiful feature for years to come, seamlessly blending form and function in every detail.
