TODAY’A DECOR inspiration comes by way of a 1970s bungalow belonging to Belgian architect Bart America. Located in Bolderberg, Belgium, close to the Dutch and German border, America describes the home he shares with his partner Arnold-Juergen, a Pomeranian named Pia, and Hungarian Vizsla named Raio with three words: “mid-century, transparency and tranquillity”. The architect employs a strict neutral palette of black, white, brown and gold, using striking natural stone and warm wood tones mixed with lime plaster. To create a mid-century vibe, furnishings such as a lounge chair by Charles & Ray Eames intermingles with a 1950s vintage ink-stained glass table lamp found in Germany and brass, wood and suede pieces created by Bart’s friend, Belgian product designer Michael Verheyden. A swimming pool on the back terrace complete with with an outdoor fireplace, a line of tall trees and a lake behind the house add to the sense of serenity that America hoped to create.
