Take an inside look at modernist gems. Is it possible to live in a listed heritage building without turning your home into a time capsule? How do you add present-day home comforts to an art deco villa or a brutalist masterpiece without spoiling its soul?

In Homes for Modernists, photographer Jan Verlinde and journalist Thijs Demeulemeester show us twenty architect homes that have not been victims of rampant renovation. Ranging from an art nouveau country home to a post-modernist Gesamtkunstwerk, this book convincingly demonstrates how to prepare 20th-century listed buildings for the 21st century.

Text in English, French and Dutch.

Authors: Professional photographer Jan Verlinde specialises in architecture and decoration and publishes in several prominent Belgian magazines. Thijs Demeulemeester is a lifestyle journalist who specialises in interior, contemporary art, and architecture. He writes for several notable Belgian magazines and newspapers.
