Group Monument wanted to demonstrate their ‘savoir faire’ on their home base in Ingelmunster.

Their offices are situated behind a “semi-detached mansion in an eclectic regionalist style” built in 1925. Group Monument wanted to restore the grandeur of that house.

The rear facades were cladded with green prepatinated copper losanges. A unique application, assembled by our own workers. This is combined with a sober light gray facade plaster system. It hides the anachronistic renovation, thus creating a soft contrast between old and new.
Old and new are reconciled in the interior. The neo-Flemish renaissance and neo-baroque elements, such as parquet and boiseries, floors, beams, decoration and fireplaces are combined with warm curtains, wooden furniture, stark lightning and traditional floor tiles.

The history resurrects and the building is now future-proof. It was the architects intention to create a really cosy place. Not to recreate a house, but a to create a Home (“Thuis” in Dutch) … for everyone at Group Monument.
