Felt completes house for life for retired couple in Belgium

Belgian architecture studio Felt has completed Heifort, an accessible home for a retired couple in Ghent that is topped by a large copper-clad roof.

The 130-square-metre home in Ghent's suburbs was designed for a couple with the goal of "ageing-in-place", which informed its accessible, level-access and single-storey design.

Housed within a barn-like volume, Heifort has tall, open living spaces divided by exposed cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls.
