Lovers of the Ardennes for many years, Laurence and Luc-Emmanuel de Hults, interior designers, decided to build a new home inspired by and respectful of local materials. Their new house, built of local stone, half-timbering & rough oak cladding, with a slate roof, looks as if it has always been there, at the edge of the village and overlooking the forest. The interior reflects this concern for authenticity, the particular care taken in the use of materials without ostentation, and a design that is both sober and warm. In addition to the total design of the house and its various spaces, Luc-Emmanuel, who has been attracted to furniture design and woodworking since studying interior architecture at Saint-Luc in Brussels, was able to give free rein to his inspiration by creating with his own hands the imposing dining room table, the desk tables in the bedrooms, the clever banquette chest in the living room, the cupboard doors in brushed fir, the bunk beds in the dormitory, which should delight the children, and the installation of the kitchen, which he designed himself. Outside, the covered terrace overlooking the garden and the forest below make for a pleasant evening outdoors. The nearby footpaths invite you to put on your boots and head off into the forest for a long stroll.
