Architecture buffs will perk up to know that a 1963 residence by Brutalist architect Juliaan Lampens is on the market in Marke, Belgium, near the city of Kortrijk in West Flanders.
Located in the suburb of Marke, the preserved 1963 abode—built by Brutalist architect Juliaan Lampens—sits almost concealed from view, enclosed by a curved, hedge-lined garden.

In true Lampens style, the residence’s flat, low roof allows it to hide from view. A thick row of manicured hedges lines the property, creating an oasis of calm, while a winding cobblestone drive adds a hint of charm.
The cobblestone driveway leads to the attached garage and side garden entrance—practically the only features of the home visible from the street.

Upon entry, a wide corridor leads into the main living area, where Lampen’s fascination with Scandinavian post-war design can be sensed. Extensive glazing opens the interior to the back lawn, capturing panoramic views of lush greenery. Refinished wood ceilings add a layer of warmth to the overall concrete form.
Wide, circular skylights are peppered throughout the home, including in the wide entry corridor.
