In Beersel, this single-family house illustrates a coherent approach to sustainable construction, where material choices contribute both to reducing environmental impact and improving indoor comfort. Without aiming for demonstrative effects, the project relies on proven solutions, implemented with rigor. A hybrid structure with a CLT upper floor The building is based on a traditional structural system, topped with an upper floor made of CLT (Cross Laminated Timber). This stru

In a context where the construction sector still too often leans toward an accumulation of technical solutions, some projects choose a different path. They advocate for a more legible, more restrained architecture, where each material has a clear and meaningful role. The renovation of this residential building in Molenbeek, developed as part of the Ernest Living project, fully embodies this approach. An Architecture Shaped by Social Realities: Led by Lionel Wauters, Ernest L

The floor system in detail For several months now, Natura Mater and Earth Plant & Fiber (EPF) have been jointly studying Recycork, a bio-based and circular insulation material derived from recycl
