A Marriage of Styles
Nestled in lush greenery, this historic residence was brought back to life by architect Stéphane Boens, who skillfully restored its soul while blending classical elements with refined modern comfort.
The owners embraced authentic details, exquisite materials, and timeless craftsmanship.
Each of the three bathrooms radiates its own atmosphere and personality — yet together, they form one harmonious whole.
Captured beautifully through the lens of photographer Claude Smekens, this home is a true celebration of character and balance.
Turquoise & Old Brass
The first bathroom exudes warmth and authenticity. At its heart lies the Discovery Thermostatic Shower in Old Brass, set against a stunning backdrop of handcrafted green-blue tiles that shimmer softly with the light.
A wooden beam draws the eye upward, adding a natural, grounding element that completes the space.
The Ballet Heater, also in the rich Old Brass finish, is elegantly integrated into the design. It’s connected to the central heating system but can also be configured as dual fuel or fully electric, offering both comfort and flexibility.
Completing the composition is the NGT1005 Discovery 3-Hole Wall Tap, echoing the same beautiful, living Old Brass patina that gives this bathroom its soulful, timeless appeal.
The turquoise tiling forms a striking contrast with the aged brass fittings from Kenny & Mason (via Taps & Baths), creating an atmosphere that feels both exotic and refined.
Each tap tells its own story, showing subtle variations in tone and texture, a hallmark of genuine craftsmanship.
Emerald Green & Nickel
The second bathroom embodies understated luxury and serene sophistication. Every element has been carefully considered, from the gentle glow of the warm nickel finish to the rich veining of the green marble, which brings an enveloping depth and natural elegance to the space. The harmonious play between metal and stone creates a visual rhythm that feels both classic and contemporary.
Inside the shower, a handwoven tile design introduces subtle movement and texture, its artisanal pattern catching the light in a way that makes the space feel alive. Each surface has a tactile quality: cool marble underfoot, soft reflections on the polished nickel, and the quiet hum of craftsmanship that ties the whole composition together.
At the center of this tranquil sanctuary stands the NGT727 in nickel from Kenny & Mason’s Traditional Collection. Its graceful lines and balanced proportions blend effortlessly with the marble backdrop. The NGT1010 bath mixer and NGT1013T shower set, both from the Discovery Collection, add a refined consistency, showcasing the timeless precision of European manufacturing.
To complete the experience, a heated towel rail, finished to match in nickel, offers both warmth and elegance. This version operates fully electrically, though, like all Kenny & Mason radiators, it can also be configured as dual fuel or central heating only, allowing flexibility without compromising the aesthetic. The result is a bathroom that feels calm, curated, and quietly opulent, a true retreat within the home.
Crafted Continuity
Three bathrooms, three moods, yet a single vision unites them all. From the carefully selected materials to the handcrafted fittings, every element reveals a deep respect for authenticity and refined detail. The interplay of texture and tone, of natural stone and polished metal, creates a sense of balance that feels both intentional and effortless. Each space tells its own story, yet together they form a harmonious narrative of comfort and elegance.
Architect Stéphane Boens succeeded in preserving the home’s historic essence while infusing it with timeless sophistication. His approach celebrates proportion, light, and craftsmanship, ensuring that the spirit of the house remains intact even as it embraces modern luxury. Every corner reflects thoughtful design: a dialogue between structure and softness, between heritage and innovation.
With fixtures and radiators from Kenny & Mason (via Taps & Baths), the interiors are elevated by the subtle artistry of traditional manufacturing. Each piece, from tap to towel rail, contributes to a sense of enduring quality. The result is more than a renovation; it is a restoration of soul. This is a home where the past and present meet in quiet harmony, defined by beauty, authenticity, and craftsmanship that will stand the test of time.
