Brick 99

Brick 99 by Belgian architect am designs takes in views of the Scheldt river, in the country’s East Flanders region. The entire apartment is designed around this outlook, inviting natural light through large openings and terraces. am designs realized a luminous and minimal interior, focussing on open spaces with special attention to natural light.

The eye-catching kitchen exists as part of the open plan living and dining area, so every effort was made to conceal it being a workspace. “I wanted the kitchen to integrate seamlessly,” am designs founder Mark Mertens adds, concealing Gaggenau appliances behind the floor-to-ceiling wall joinery that runs along the side of the kitchen.

am designs visualized the kitchen as “pieces of free-standing furniture”, achieved through a signature palette of Douglas fir timber and Pietra Dei Medici stone, warmed by brushed gold fixtures. “Ultimately, the stone and timber needed to connect with the large outside terraces and surrounding nature,” Mark adds.

Ton-sur-ton and natural tones for furniture contribute to the timeless living space. Elegance was accentuated by brushed gold components, such as VOLA kitchen and bathroom taps, Sumum switches and the Osaka ceiling lamp and iconic door handles by Jules Wabbes.
