MODERN ANTWERP
Renaat Braem’s own house in Antwerp, 1958, now restored and opened to the public as an architectural museum. Braem himself described his masterpiece in his autobiography: "The entire house is a poetic composition in which different rhythms are entwined. [...] The general outlook is designed for a rational way of living. There are no dark corners; everything is bathed in light, all day long, and you can follow the scudding clouds or watch the moonlight shine on the clouds from the bed at night, and feel at one with the course of the hours and the seasons."
