Andy Kerstens is refurbishing a country house, the DJS.2 residence, with authentic elements located in the green environment around Leuven, Belgium. Kerstens was founded in 2015 and is based in Antwerp. Kerstens is a multidisciplinary design studio with a clear vision of architecture, interior design, and furniture design. The focus is on total projects in which an affinity for craftsmanship, detail, and atmosphere is essential. This applies both to the residential market and to catering and retail projects.
Their vision on the interior is to create an atmospheric quality within a refined architectural design language. They strive for simplicity, a timeless, minimal design combined with rich, natural materials for a warm and sober look. The atmosphere created by a dialogue between unique objects, intriguing art and tactile materialization results in contrast to a larger architectural whole and leads to a deeper emotion. Craftsmanship and sustainability are inextricably linked and form the basis of a project. Their work exudes a certain serenity, resulting from monochrome and timeless signature, combined with a touch of understated luxury.
