Where architecture, comfort and creativity meet


Belgian photographer and creative Pieter Peulen lives and works in a serene concrete home in Zonhoven. With a background in interior and furniture design, he has created a space where modernist architecture meets tactile materials, personal objects and carefully collected vintage pieces.

The result is an interior that feels calm and considered, yet never static.

A home in constant motion

For Pieter, an interior is never truly finished. He is continuously searching for new compositions, moving objects and exploring how furniture interacts with the architecture around it.

The raw concrete creates a quiet and powerful foundation. Against this architectural backdrop, vintage pieces add softness, history and individuality.

It is this balance that gives the home its character.

“Home is the heart of everything for me.”

Tactility and contrast

Materiality is essential throughout the interior. The strength and purity of concrete are softened by curved forms, warm textures and objects that show traces of time.

These contrasts make the space feel both architectural and inviting. Minimal, but never cold. Refined, but still deeply personal.

Designed around daily life

For Pieter, great design is not only about appearance. It is about how an object feels and how it supports the person using it.

Furniture should invite you to sit, relax and remain comfortable throughout everyday life. The relationship between form and use is just as important as visual beauty.

The softness of Pierre Paulin

This is what Pieter values in the work of Pierre Paulin. His sculptural designs are defined by rounded silhouettes and an unmistakable sense of softness.

The organic forms introduce warmth and accessibility into the concrete interior. They create a feeling of comfort without losing their strong visual identity.

Design becomes not just something to admire, but something to experience.
