House B-L in Destelbergen, Belgium by GRAUX & BAEYENS architecten

The ‘B’ in the name of this house stands for Basile, architect and co-founder of Graux & Baeyens architects (GBA). He and his wife were charmed by a 1965 chalet-style house in Destelbergen (Ghent, Belgium). And although it was too small for their family, Basile – how could it be otherwise – immediately saw opportunities to make it their home.
