Gent-based JUMA Architects extended an existing farmstead with a striking black volume, creating a harmonious blend of old and new. Positioned as a buffer between the driveway and garden, the new addition adopts the farmstead’s design language with a simple rectangular layout and modest gable roof. Inside, a spacious living area benefits from large windows, a black ceiling and a soft terracotta-toned polished concrete floor. A trapezoid fireplace connects spaces, while the farmhouse retains its charm with wooden beams, plank floors and Belgian bluestone tiles.
