Verboven Residence – Oud-Turnhout

Kraaienbosstraat 53, 2360 Oud-Turnhout
1962

Built in 1962 according to the design of Atelier Vanhout-Schellekens. Detached, modern single-storey residence with a flat roof, characteristic of these architects’ early period, combining Scandinavian architectural influences with distinctive features that would be further developed in later houses. Simple, massive volume constructed from large surfaces of white-painted brick with matching concrete roof trim; vertical and horizontal wall openings.

Simple floor plan: main volume with carport, garage and living area, recessed terrace in the rear façade, recently covered; elongated wing with sleeping quarters. Due to orientation, only opened up in the side façade through large window sections with woodwork.
