Timeless Charm in B&B Parkhuys
Surrounded by lush greenery in the heart of Merksem, B&B Parkhuys is a place where history, hospitality, and refined design come together in perfect harmony.
What began as a passionate renovation project by owners Micheline and Kris evolved into a guesthouse that radiates authenticity and quiet luxury.
Captured beautifully by photographer Claude Smekens, every room reveals an elegant interplay of heritage architecture and modern comfort, crowned by the distinctive craftsmanship of Kenny & Mason fixtures supplied by Taps & Baths.
A Touch of Golden Warmt
In the heart of one of the guest suites, the Boat Bath from Kenny & Mason takes center stage, a sculptural statement of timeless elegance.
The freestanding form, inspired by classic bateau baths, is paired with fittings from the Traditional Collection in the rich and characterful Old Brass finish.
The NGT701 bath mixer and the NGT703 Monoblock Basin Mixer add a sense of continuity and heritage, while the VSWL wall lamp in Old Brass casts a soft, flattering light over the space.
Porcelain accessories, also from Kenny & Mason, complete the ensemble with refined simplicity.
The gentle patina of the brass and the delicate detailing of each piece evoke a bygone era, perfectly balancing vintage charm with contemporary comfort.
This bathroom captures the essence of Parkhuys: inviting, warm, and steeped in quiet sophistication.
Details in Brass and Stone
A closer look reveals the NGT701 bath mixer in Old Brass, its tactile surface and hand-polished finish showcasing the craftsmanship that defines every Kenny & Mason creation. The subtle variations in tone give the brass a living quality that softens over time, creating a warm patina unique to each piece. Beneath the light it glows with quiet character, a testament to the art of traditional metalworking refined through generations.
Just below, another bathroom unfolds, a serene retreat anchored by the Big White Bath, also by Kenny & Mason, this time paired with the wall mounted version of the NGT701. The crisp lines of the bath contrast beautifully with the organic warmth of the brass fittings, forming a dialogue between precision and softness. The surrounding textures, stone, porcelain and light, work together to create an atmosphere of calm luxury and effortless elegance.
The contrast between the pure white bath and the aged brass highlights the timeless beauty of authentic materials used with care. Every detail, from the graceful curve of the spout to the smooth porcelain handles, tells a story of heritage, precision and endurance. The result is a space that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern, echoing the character and quiet grandeur of the historic villa itself.
Soft Greens & Old Brass Warmth
The final bathroom brings together warmth and tranquility in perfect harmony. Here, the Traditional Thermostatic Exposed Shower from Kenny & Mason stands proudly against a backdrop of soft light green tiles, their gentle variations amplifying the natural glow of the Old Brass finish.
The living patina of the metal adds depth and authenticity, revealing subtle nuances that shift with the light throughout the day.
This dynamic surface makes each moment in the space feel alive and intimate, as if history itself is woven into the design.
Every element has been chosen with care, from the balanced proportions of the fittings to the precision craftsmanship visible in every joint and curve.
The tactile quality of the materials invites touch, while the overall composition evokes a sense of calm refinement.
This bathroom captures the quiet luxury that defines B&B Parkhuys, an atmosphere where comfort, heritage and contemporary elegance come together effortlessly, creating a sanctuary that feels both personal and timeless.
