Witklipfontein Eco Lodge is a personal project that I’ve been woking on, for four years, in collaboration with my brother Xavier Huyberechts and his company GLH Architects. The idea was to build an eco lodge made out of soil, with revised hold vernacular building technics, in a contemporary minimalistic design. Our aim was to demonstrate that we can build contemporary and comfortable houses in a more sustainable way.
