For this project, we created the Broothaerts Garden Unit: a sleekly designed garden unit that was deliberately integrated into an open, green setting. Thanks to its minimalist architecture and large glass walls, this garden unit serves as a tranquil focal point in the landscape, creating a strong connection between indoors and outdoors.

Clean-lined volume with distinct simplicity

The Broothaerts Garden Unit was designed as a clean, rectangular volume with a completely dark facade finish. The understated design and bold lines create a timeless aesthetic that allows the surrounding greenery to truly shine.

The unit stands freestanding in the garden and is surrounded by grass, water, and existing trees, allowing the building to blend into the natural context without being overpowering.

Large glass section as a window onto the garden

At the front, the garden unit features a wide glass section that acts as a frame for the landscape. As a result, the interior enjoys:

• abundant natural light
• an open and spacious feeling
• a direct visual connection to the garden

This layout makes the unit particularly suitable as:

• an office or workspace
• art studio or workshop
• a relaxation area
• multi-purpose garden space

Materials that promote tranquility and sustainability

The dark facade panels create a calm and understated appearance, while the glass makes the unit light and transparent. The choice of materials has been deliberately kept simple, with a focus on:

• sustainability
• ease of maintenance
• long-term outdoor use

The contrast between the dark unit and the green landscape enhances the architectural character of the whole.

Thoughtful integration into nature

The Broothaerts garden unit was carefully positioned with respect for the existing garden layout. The presence of water features and mature trees enhances the experience and makes the unit a place where tranquility and concentration take center stage.

The unit serves not only as extra space but also as a vantage point and retreat within the landscape.

Flexible and future-oriented

As with all our modular solutions, the Broothaerts Garden Unit remains:

• flexible in use
• customizable in layout and finish
• suitable for temporary or permanent use

The modular design makes it possible to tailor the unit perfectly to changing needs.
