Belgian architect Nicolas Schuybroek established his practice in Brussels 2011. Schuybroek began his career in Montreal, Canada working for INTEGRAL Jean Beaudoin.

What I really love about this man’s work is his considered approach, relentless consistency and understated luxury captured in each space. His projects explore a sharp vision of space and materials, while maintaining a feeling of warmth…

Having said this, I still stand by my comment, so I was really happy to receive an update from these guys about their latest project…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Scandinavians do it better. And in case you are not already convinced (yeah right), perhaps you will be after this post. Läderfabriken is the latest project from the Oscar Properties, who are responsible for number of superb residential refurbishments in Stockholm – one of which I wrote about last year. Housed in a late 19th century factory building by the shore of Järla lake, the design for the contemporary apartments embraces the original industrial details of the building…
