Late 1980s. He/She.
After more than ten years in the heart of Brussels—he went from punk to film student, she studied graphic design at Sint-Lukas. Together they managed The Scabs, until he became a cinematographer and she a graphic designer.
From urban wanderers to parents of a son and daughter, the time had come for something new. On the checklist: more space, more air, more views, and more nature than city.
Leuven became the target, “the Kesselberg” the destination. Two architects came and went but didn’t quite grasp the vision. So they decided to do it themselves. Armed with tape measures, ribbons, and dreams, they ventured into the meadow—watched curiously by the cows, silent witnesses to the future “mountain” home.
The top floor became their living space: open, bright, and spacious.
He, with his cameraman’s eye, knew exactly how the light should fall.
She created her green world—a wild, playful garden climbing the slope.
Now, 32 years later, the children have flown the nest.
He/She is in search of a new place. Smaller, inspiring, with space for the next chapter.
