From My Flemish Neighbourhood

Because I miss home's comfort, I share with you some of the photos I took while roaming around my neighbourhood (back in Belgium) on a soothing rainy day... I am blessed to live in a country like Belgium, rich in diversity and culture and rooted in heritage and history and to be living in an area in the Flemish zone called Sint-Genesius Rode, I became aware of classy architecture and uniqueness.

For each photo below, I have fabricated a tale in my mind which is not only because of how the mansion appears to be, but also how the emitted vibes were felt like on that day.. Which brings me to say that, while I am designing my meditation-teahouse exhibition-like complex, I noticed it is severely hard to come up with delicate intimate formed building especially that we are really surrounded and bombarded with banal architecture and to design such a refined piece of architecture is personally challenging. Despite that, I bring you exhibits of atmospheric residential Belgian architecture shown down below... 

Geometrical balance (and a face?) 
Decaying! really. 
The beauty in the switch
Neat, is the word
An elderly care-house under construction
White, all white! (intimate? maaayybee)
