Brick walls, glass and long roof lines

Rough brick, wide glass openings and a dark roof set the tone before the eye reaches the interior. The villa reads in strong horizontal layers, with overhangs that pull the roofline forward and frame the windows below. That rhythm is visible in the front elevation as well as in the side views, where the brick surface meets neat bands of glazing and a restrained plinth. It is a modern villa with custom interior details, but the exterior already makes clear how carefully the volumes are organized.

The glazing is not used as a single showpiece. Instead, the windows come in measured stretches, interrupted by brick corners, a garage opening and a sheltered entrance zone. Those lines keep the composition grounded. In the images, the facade shifts from solid wall to wide openings without losing its order. The result is a modern brick villa that feels built from simple parts, each one doing visible work in the elevation.

A covered terrace that sits close to the garden

At the garden side, the overhang becomes a practical shelter. Underneath it, the covered terrace by the garden holds a seating area on stone paving, with a low wall and planting beyond. The terrace is not detached from the house; it is tucked against the brick volume and protected by the same roof edge that shapes the facade. Light falls differently here, cut back by the overhang and softened by the surrounding greenery.

The paving and low masonry edges give the outdoor area a clear boundary. One image shows the terrace opening toward lawn and borders, while another frames the same zone with a more direct view of the seating and the shadow line under the roof. This is where the architecture and the garden meet without a dramatic threshold. The covered terrace by the garden extends the ground plane, but the brick wall and the crisp edges keep the space legible.

Inside, the fireplace wall sets the pace

The living room turns on a custom wall with a built-in fireplace wall at its center. The fire opening is placed within a larger composition of rectangular recesses and wall elements, so the whole surface reads as one made piece rather than a loose assembly of parts. A large curtain panel at the side softens the room’s hard lines, but the main story remains the masonry-like block of the hearth and the way it anchors the seating area.

Another view shows how the wall units continue the same disciplined geometry. Tall storage forms flank open niches, and the room opens toward a broad window area on the right. The built-in fireplace wall does more than hold the fire: it organizes the living room, giving the eye a fixed point while the rest of the space stays open and bright. In this modern villa with custom interior, the living room furniture is part of the architecture rather than decoration added later.

Custom joinery keeps the walls quiet

The joinery works by reducing visual noise. Recesses, flush fronts and aligned edges make the storage read as part of the wall surface. That effect matters in a room with large glazing, because the interior already has strong daylight and clear sightlines. Here, the custom interior uses built-in elements to hold that openness in check. The fireplace wall, the surrounding cabinetry and the nearby openings create a steady composition instead of a scattered one.

Wood fronts and stone define the kitchen

The kitchen shifts to warmer surface tones, with wooden fronts set against a dark stone worktop. The contrast is direct and easy to read. One image shows a long work surface with a deep, matte slab of stone and a tall wall of cabinetry behind it; another reveals the integrated niche above the counter, where appliances and storage are fitted into the same vertical field. The modern kitchen with wood and stone keeps the materials visible instead of disguising them.

The stone top gives the work zone a grounded edge, while the wood cabinet fronts bring grain and depth to the tall units. Nothing here is overdrawn. Handles, seams and appliance openings stay subdued so the composition can rely on proportion and material. That is also where the kitchen connects to the rest of the project: the same restraint seen in the brick facade and the living room joinery returns in the cabinet layout. The house does not switch language from room to room.

Storage is built into the view line

Across the interior, built-in cabinets and recessed surfaces keep the sightline clean. The window bench with built-in cabinets appears under a broad run of windows, with low storage tucked beneath the glazing and grey shading above. It is a useful piece of joinery, but visually it also lowers the window band and gives the room a continuous base. In another room, large wall cabinets carry the same logic, with open niches cut into the storage volume so the wall does not become flat and heavy.

That kind of built-in solution works best when the house already has strong horizontal lines. Here, the windows stretch across the wall, the roof edges run long, and the storage follows those directions. The bench beneath the window creates a place to sit or pause at the glass, while the cabinets below hold the line of the room steady. The result is a modern villa with custom interior elements that feel tied to the architecture rather than dropped into it.

A project held together by repeated lines and measured openings

What gives the project its clarity is the repetition of similar moves in different parts of the house. Brick surfaces meet large windows. Overhangs shade the openings. Inside, the fireplace wall, kitchen fronts and storage pieces all use the same measured approach to surface and edge. Even the garage door and the broad window bands in the facade follow that logic. The villa keeps returning to horizontal lines, but each room gives them a different use.

The photography captures those shifts well: from the front elevation with its dark roof and strong glazing, to the covered terrace with seating and planting, to the living room and kitchen where custom joinery takes over. Dré Wouters’ images show a completed modern villa project in which exterior and interior are linked by material and proportion. The brick shell, the glazed openings and the built-in furniture all carry the same careful order, without turning the house into a single note.
