Vermeir House / A B Design

Vermeir House is a refined exercise in classic, low-maintenance interior design, tailored for a mature couple living alone in their long-time residence while occasionally hosting visiting family. The brief was rooted in practical needs: a space that felt timeless yet serene, efficient in layout, and easy to maintain. With two sons and four grandchildren who live outside the city, the clients wanted to retain a sense of warmth and functionality for when the extended family visits, without overwhelming their everyday routine.The design ethos centred around simplicity and understated elegance, expressed through clean lines, tactile materials, and gentle infusions of colour. A sense of quiet sophistication guides the spatial flow, from the thoughtfully created foyer – punctuated by a glass partition and tall storage units – that subtly screens the interior from the entrance, to the sculptural interventions that animate key areas of the home.
