Huis Billiet
Architecture fans and all those who love modernist heritage, bold but very harmonious colour combinations and bright vistas, come home to Huis Billiet. For this diamond-cutting house was restored to its former glory and now serves as a b&b. This protected monument is located just outside the ramparts of Bruges and was built in 1927 by the renowned Huib Hoste. And that caused quite a stir. By then, the architect had already embraced modernism, so he went full steam ahead with those new stylistic elements and that revolutionary concrete. This timeless gem is the remarkable result. From now on, you can immerse yourself in Huib Hoste's world here, be inspired by his bold colours and materials and experience for yourself how he played with light. The owners have tackled the building with love, patience and respect and will be happy to tell you more about their renovation journey and the importance of this piece of heritage.
