A precise answer to the site and programme.
The renovation and transformation of a manor house in Auvelais, in the province of Namur, Wallonia, demonstrates the ability of architecture firm STARC to balance the preservation of architectural heritage with contemporary living requirements. The project focuses on enhancing a remarkable existing volume, carefully maintaining the characteristic features that define the typology of the traditional Belgian manor house.
The interior transformation follows a spatial reorganisation strategy, adapting the residence to modern use while preserving the coherence and legibility of the original volumes. Careful consideration was given to material selection, natural light and finishes, restoring the building's inherent dignity while providing a high standard of contemporary comfort.
Situated within the urban fabric of Auvelais, this residential renovation project reflects STARC's commitment to context-sensitive architecture, respectful of the Walloon built heritage and attentive to the intrinsic qualities of the existing structure. The transformation contributes to the revitalisation of the commune's residential heritage while meeting the evolving needs of its occupants.
