Architecture firm K2A, have completed the renovation of two very narrow houses that were in poor condition in Brussels, transforming them into a larger house with a back garden.
The front 19th century brick facade belonging to a row of similar houses was restored and was essentially left untouched, however the rear facade was heavily renovated.

The interior of the property was completed gutted, giving the architects a blank shell to work within.

The renovation allowed for a new extension to the back of the house, which has large sliding glass doors that open to the updated rear garden.

The garden has been landscaped with various levels, creating places for the home owners to relax in the lounge, or take in the mural on the back brick wall.

Large windows allow natural light to filter through to the interior, and by this window, a simple bench is positioned to take advantage of the garden views.
