b0b Van Reeth 1943-2025
In honour of b0b Van Reeth, we post this series of photographs of one of his first designs. The project for house Huyse was conceived and built around 1969 on a limited budget. Despite its age, the house is still very relevant in the architectural discours today. We believe a lot of architectural practices are still indebted to this earlier work of b0b in a good way.
architecten asked to make the series for b0b’s 80th birthday, now almost three years ago. We think the images capture the space, light and honest materials in an extraordinary way. Although b0b was a man of looking forward instead of looking back, he liked the fresh look on this old gem.
By sharing these pictures, we hope they can inspire and that the legacy of b0b can keep contributing to our architectural practices in these challenging times.
Thank you b0b, for everything.
