""People living in the upper parts of very high

buildings have more intense sensations than other

people. The hours the seasons nature are closer to

them. The sun the wind the rain the clouds have a

much closer impact on them. They are both from the

earth and from the sky."" This sentence originating in

the constructive optimism of the thirties describes in

part the specific charm of this conceptual apartment.

Designed by a young but renown Belgian architect

in the latter nineties on an existing unit from 1968

with a very clear idea in mind which he called

maxFUS. Modular blocks on wheels are the walls

inside the apartment.

""Put everything needed for living and working in the

walls to obtain maximum FUS meaning free

undefined space. Open parts of the walls for living

or working. Close the walls afterwards to re

maximize FUS. Minimize furniture to maximize FUS

(free unidentified space). Help to minimalism

furniture by double or triple use: use benches for

sitting and sleeping; use tables for eating and

working; use balls for playing and sitting .""(Karl

Vandenhende - Architect)Location is in the very

center of Brussels exactly between the old city and

the European quarter.The

neighborhood is multi-cultural with many exotic and

Belgian restaurants various shops and local

specialities. The by a leading newspaper elected

best "" Belgian fries"" are found around the corner.

Metro-station Madou is on the same block.

Will feature in Fine Living "" Around the world in 80

homes"" show - dates will be forwarded shortly.

Having visited Brussels on a regular basis for the

last 4 years meeting Peter & his apartment opened

up another dimension regarding this fascinating city.

The height (24 stories) not only lifts the soul but a

view like this brings a being closer to the area & the

elements. I spent most of my time playing music &

absorbing the 180o view after a stressful day at

work. Truly unique in every aspect.  Thx.
