Elegant and timeless kitchen in a listed house in Machelen
In a listed townhouse in Machelen, M. and Julie, a young couple working in the events industry, wanted a kitchen that matched the character of the property: elegant, timeless, and perfectly integrated into the existing architecture.
VelGon envisioned a space where heritage and modernity exist in harmonious dialogue, respecting the soul of the building while bringing in a contemporary perspective.
A quartzite central island, the centerpiece of the project
The central island structures the space and immediately draws the eye.
Clad in polished Taj Mahal-effect quartzite, it captures the light and reveals a subtle mineral texture, creating a refined contrast with the home’s classic volumes.
A true gathering point, it combines aesthetics, functionality, and conviviality.
Noble materials for a warm atmosphere
The real walnut fronts bring depth and authenticity to the whole design.
In contrast, the custom-made matte white lacquered columns integrate perfectly into the existing architectural lines, reinforcing the balance between tradition and modernity.

Custom details that make all the difference
Each element was carefully designed to meet the demands of the space and the couple’s lifestyle:
- Brushed gold-finish grooves for an elegant touch
- Fully integrated appliances
- A wine cooler discreetly integrated into the island
- Optimized interior fittings
Every detail contributes to a seamless, high-end everyday experience.
A kitchen in perfect harmony with the architecture
The main challenge of the project was to respect the listed character of the house while integrating a contemporary kitchen.
The result: a subtle balance where every element finds its place without ever compromising the existing character.
