Au sein de l'Hôtel de la Bûcherie à Paris, une belle série de décorateurs met en scène objets d'art et mobiliers d'exception de collectionneurs passionnés, à l’initiative du magazine AD. La ligne directrice de cette année ? Brute et précieuse.
Launched in 2010 in the context of the 10 year anniversary of the magazine, AD Intérieurs celebrates the work of interior architects and designers. Every year, in September, 10 experienced talents selected by the editorial committee are given « carte blanche » to stage a living space illustrating their know-how as well as their style. They surround themselves by the best craftsmen (painters, carpenters,..) to create top level interiors.
Within very little time, AD Intérieurs has established itself as one of the key cultural events of the Parisian seasonal agenda. Building on the success of the previous editions, the AD France pursues the adventure this year in the Compagnie des Philantropes, around a new theme : « Rough and refined».
We are extremely proud to confirm our first participation to AD Intérieurs, hosted by Architectural Digest France. From 5 to 23 September 2018 at LA COMPAGNIE DES PHILANTHROPES, 15, Rue de la Bucherie, 75005 Paris. More info soon!

An impressive 1800s home in the historic centre of Antwerp became the perfect blank canvas for Nicolas Schuybroek and his team. An architect skilled in creating minimal, open and elegant spaces Schuybroek was presented with the privileged opportunity of reimagining this 12-room home for a fashion creative who works in Paris but returns to Antwerp for weekends.
This interior masterpiece is by Nicolas Schuybroek. If you haven’t yet acquainted yourself with his work, I would encourage some serious research right about now. With an impeccable eye for detail and design, Schuybroek is renowned for his timeless, modern approach, that still emanates a feeling of warmth and liveability – that of which is not an easy feat when it comes to the ongoing waves of on-trend minimalism.
Nicolas Schuybroek's approach to design is admirable and characterised by an acute sense of detail, craftsmanship and intuition, while retaining a feeling of warmth. This sense of warmth radiates through MK House and highlights the expertly balanced palette of white, timber and black. Truly exceptional.

This project is all about the interior, with a brave and bold approach of keeping things totally restrained. Clean lines and an ultra-minimalist palette produce a calming, yet agonisingly beautiful experience.
We are proud and extremely happy to introduce our new website and identity, designed by our good friend Javas Lehn. The updated website includes new projects and pictures, plans and a comprehensive list of projects, without boundaries between type or discipline.
Architect Nicolas Schuybroek takes us inside his latest project, a 19th-century house in the historic district of Antwerp, Belgium, renewed through a modern scope
MK house is a recently renovated heritage-listed townhouse from the early 1800’s located in the historic centre of Antwerp. Brussels-based Nicolas Schuybroek was presented with the task of re-imagining the house for a top fashion creative who works in Paris but returns to his native Antwerp for weekends.
MK House in Antwerp, Belgium, is the latest residence designed by Brussels based Nicolas Schuybroek architects, through his distinct, clean, minimalist approach.
From time to time some projects deserve a second look. That is when Minimalissimo revisits outstanding pieces from the past. Take a look at this beauty originally covered over 3 years ago.
CS House is an elegant Belgium home defined by a palette of black and white. The home has a rather traditional exterior and floorplan, but that did not stop Nicolas Schuybroek Architects from turning the interior into a modern marvel. No detail is overlooked: from the warm grain of the floor to the effortless drop of the pendant lights.
A consistent thread throughout Schuybroek’s architecture and design emerges in the form of an unmistakable technical rigor and an acute sense of detail. As for his interiors, they betray Schuybroek’s Belgian roots in all the best ways – from the contemporary aesthetic to the ultra clean lines to the measured rusticity – it’s a masterful balance that only the natives seem to get so beautifully right.

Blair Kamin reviews the Robey hotel in Chicago for Architectural Record (USA): “the design team has enlivened, rather than entombed, the old skyscraper, which now expresses layers of time rather than a single era”.
Condé Nast Traveler (USA) writes about the opening of The Robey—in a landmark Art Deco building—from Mexico-based Grupo Habita, shifting the city’s hotel game four L stops northwest of downtown.
Au Robey, les designers ont fait des miracles. Il y a des parois de verre et de métal entre les lits et les salles d'eau. Il y des plaids gris perle et des murs taupes qui habillent vos pénates de sensualités sombres. Tandis que le mobilier, du rez-de-chaussé jusqu'au rooftop, travaille une veine moderniste sans écueils ni trop-plein.
The Telegraph (UK) writes about the Robey Hotel: “like a piece of Trivial Pursuit pie, the striking wedge-shaped Art Deco building peers over a famous six-corner intersection in the kinetic Wicker Park neighborhood. Skyline views rise in the distance, while the local scene's beloved music venues, restaurants and bars call for full immersion”.

Lauren Ho writes about the opening of The Robey in Chicago for Wallpaper*: « The design was conceived as a subtle balance between Americana style and pared down, timeless, almost Belgian interiors.. A harmony between old and new, European and American, unpretentious and elegant, timeless and warm ».

Belgian architect Nicolas Schuybroek of NS Architects has recently completed a remarkable minimalist single storey holiday house in the South of France. Situated in the Mediterranean on the Côte d'Azur, more specifically in Cap d’ Antibes, this is modern architecture at its finest; linear, geometric, elegant and stunningly beautiful, it artfully integrates into and adapts to its surrounding environment.
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. In just under 2 years, Schuybroek has managed to undertake projects on the Cote d’Azur (France), Ibiza (Spain) and Belgian coast amongst other places. Impressive.
These interiors are designed by Nicolas Schuybroek, former employee at Vincent Van Duysen architects. Since he started his own studio in Brussels in 2011, he has created some stunning projects. Pure white walls combined with modern furniture defines his personal style. Here’s a sneak-peak of his portfolio.
Ce jeune Bruxellois a fait ses classes entre Montréal et Anvers, où il a été pendant cinq ans directeur de projet chez Vincent Van Duysen. Il prend définitivement son envol en ouvrant dans sa ville natale sa propre agence en 2011. Depuis, les projets d’appartements ou de maisons privées s’enchaînent en France et en Belgique.
