Groenen Dijk
Groenendijk is a rare stretch of seafront promenade without high-rise buildings between the Belgian town of Oostduinkerke and Nieuwpoort. In one of the coastal houses still standing there, we transformed a compact apartment with living room, kitchen and two bedrooms into a special weekend residence that celebrates the connection with the sea.

In one of the coastal houses still standing there, we transformed a compact apartment with living room, kitchen and two bedrooms into a special weekend residence that celebrates the connection with the sea.
The corner apartment on the second floor conveys a complete view of the beach and the sea. To do full justice to that priceless canvas, we delved into a palette of colours and materials in line with the surroundings. In this apartment, for instance, the choice fell on soft travertine, a subtle use of wood and sand-coloured textures that immerse you in an endless sense of peace and serenity.

After a form study, we also managed to link all the bespoke furniture together; from kitchen to bespoke sofa to TV wall and beyond. Add to this the right proportions, compositions and a sophisticated interplay of lines that balance the whole. It turns the interior into one piece of furniture that enhances both the apartment’s spaciousness and sense of security.
To sum it up: in this apartment in Nieuwpoort, you live in the design and experience the sea to the full. Add to this the lighting plan that gives daylight a free pass and provides subdued artificial light in a very subtle and targeted way and you will get an unparalleled weekend stay by the sea that sticks to you like sand grains to your feet.
