Every year when the leaves begin to bud, the staff of www.laika.be, a theatre company known for its sensory-stimulating performances, retreat for a day. They evaluate what has happened and make plans for the future. Ideally, they do this in an inspiring location. The residence of architect Jozef Schellekens is exemplary in this regard: a building with beautifully clean lines, an overwhelming yet simultaneously calming colour palette, with light that enters very beautifully. A house that breathes the history of its designer and that of his family. The design must have been revolutionary at the time, and even today it has lost none of its power and charm. There is a reason that the building is listed. A homely place where it is pleasant to stay, a wellspring of inspiration.
