A sunny summer day out

Deinze, Belgium

At home

— “Modern two-story villa with large glass walls, a broad cantilevered upper floor, a lawn and pool in front, and children visible inside and around the house.

In the summer vacation, when the parents are off to work, the garden of this magnificent house by Govaert & Vanhoutte architects becomes the realm of children. With a spectacular first floor, a lovely pool and a green garden, there's never a dull moment in this villa.

After sleeping in, it’s time to discover what this day has to offer…

Reed-green Hopper picnic table placed on a concrete terrace beside floor-to-ceiling windows and a long swimming pool, set against the clean lines of a minimalist white villa.

At the Hopper picnic table, the kids start the day by playing cards. Whoever wins gets to jump in the pool first!

Two children sit opposite each other at a reed-green Hopper picnic table on the sunny terrace, playing cards beside the modern house.

Long rectangular swimming pool beside the house, with a girl walking along the edge and a boy relaxing near two Sol+Luna loungers in the garden.

The Hopper AA table is made entirely of aluminium, which gives it a streamlined design that fits neatly with the villa.

After a ten-point-dive into the pool, the Sol+Luna sunbeds await their guests for some lovely sunbathing.

At night the sunbeds convert to sofas in full moonlight! Here, the children watch the night fall and discuss which part of the garden they’ll discover tomorrow…
