Immodôme
Immodôme is a real estate agency that focuses on homes with personality. The estate agents start from their passion for architecture and design, and this passion is reflected in the homes they sell in Belgium and abroad.
Not your typical real estate
Mind the View helps bring out those stories in the form of videos. Not typical real estate videos where room after room is shown. But videos where the story behind the property is the common thread. This is how Immodôme distinguishes itself from the rest and we are only too happy to cooperate.
Immodôme is the perfect partner for Mind the View, and vice versa. No band work, an eye for detail and a focus on the story. Match made in heaven
Home on the Channel site
Boris and Dick have collaborated with renowned architects and designers to bring Kanaal Site Vervoordt to life as a place where creative souls can meet.
Dick says: ‘The landscape of this site is the connecting factor. It was a challenge to make the impressive industrial buildings human-sized and thus create tranquillity.'
Canal Site Vervoordt is a unique and inspiring location in Belgium that embodies the perfect blend of history, art and design. Located on the Albert Canal, this site offers a beautiful industrial landscape steeped in charm and authenticity.
Originally an old grain silo from the 19th century, the site was transformed by the Vervoordt family into an artistic and cultural residential area unlike any other.
Boris explains: ‘Treating the historic architecture with respect, acted as a kind of catalyst for attracting people with a passion for architecture, design and living culture.’
Today, it is a place where art lovers, interior designers and curious visitors can enjoy an extraordinary (living) experience.
Luxurious city villa in Mechelen
A nice street width and an attractive deep garden finally won him over and inspired him to choose axes of light that would reach from the front door across the water feature to the pear trees.
The sense of spaciousness here is enhanced by the use of light colours, high ceilings and ditto doors.
The front facade, rear facade, new extension and layout have been completely changed. The only thing that has remained in this house is the concrete structure.
Those beautiful, old cheese boards can now be found on the 3 floors of the house.
Paul's favourite place? The studio, the only place in the house where he tolerates chaos. This is where he spends every day making paintings, drawings, preliminary designs and plans.
Unique modernism in Beerse
Curious about the context in which brute force and solid materials go hand in hand with spontaneity, cosiness and intimacy? We are happy to let architect Paul Schellekens have his say, in and about one of his own creations: An architectural house designed in 1975, offered by Immodôme.
Paul Schellekens, a professor and winner of the ‘Prix de Rome’, was hugely fascinated in Brutalist architecture as a youngster and was in the right place at the time in a Turnhout architecture firm that fully embraced the direction. It typified that period when the younger firms in Turnhout were given complete carte blanche by their clients.
His fascination with Brutalism stemmed from its conviviality, but equally from the power that comes from this architecture. A spontaneous ‘nothing must be done’ atmosphere typifies this style, according to Schellekens, and the house in Beerse radiates this completely.
