Huis for sale in Maaseik

In a quiet residential area near the center of Maaseik is this special modernist home from 1970, designed by architect Hubert Snaken for his brother, artist Frans Snaken. The house is a remarkable symbiosis between architecture and visual art, with three unique glass windows by Frans Snakes as special eye-catchers. Clear volumes, generous glass parties and a well thought-out spatial organization characterize this artist's home, in which living and works from the original design are closely interwoven.

Hubert Snake's design was based on a special family and artistic connection. As an architect, he designed a living and working environment for his brother Frans in which architecture and art naturally reinforce each other. The result is a distinct modernist house in which light, space and functionality are central.

Large windows ensure continuous interaction between interior and garden, while warm materials and carefully worked-out lines of vision give the home a pleasant and timeless character. The three glass windows of Frans Snake are an integral part of the architectural experience and give the house a special artistic identity. The incident light brings the colours and compositions of the glass windows to life and creates a constantly changing atmosphere.

The generous entrance hall forms the central hinge point of the house and connects the various living and working functions. The living spaces are characterized by their open character and abundant light. Living room, dining room and kitchen connect in a logical way and create a pleasant living environment with a direct relationship to the garden.

On the floor are four bedrooms, including a spacious master bedroom with dressing, and a bathroom with bath, shower and toilet. The ground floor also includes a desk, an additional shower room, guest toilet, cloakroom, storage room and garage. The thoughtful layout offers an interesting combination of communal living spaces and more private rooms.

An essential part of the original concept is the integrated practical part. Hubert Snanen designed the house not only as a family home, but also as a place where his brother could develop his artistic activities.

The workspaces offer a variety of possibilities for an artist's studio, a liberal profession or an office at home. Thanks to the versatile layout, the home can adapt to different living and working needs without compromising its original character.

The clear structure, the generous spaces and the authentic architectural elements demonstrate a design in which functionality and aesthetics are carefully matched. The special relationship between the living rooms, the studio and the garden gives the house a distinct character. The original design vision remains clearly legible and forms the basis for a living environment with exceptional spatial quality.

The location in a quiet residential area near the center of Maaseik combines privacy with a good accessibility of shops, schools, cultural facilities and sports facilities.

This artist's home tells not only the story of a special architectural vision, but also that of two brothers who brought architecture and art together in one design. A rare property with a distinct identity, authentic modernist qualities and a special attraction for lovers of architecture and artistic heritage. EPC: 700 kWh/m2.
