With 328 pages of immersive photography and thoughtful prose, the book unveils 17 breathtaking country homes, castles, and residences, many created in collaboration with renowned designer Axel Vervoordt.

Inspired by ancient and Renaissance influences, as well as local traditions, De Clerck’s architecture evokes warmth, stillness, and lasting sophistication.
