Photography · Funkey Townhouses, Sint-Hubertusstraat, Ghent

In the Sint-Hubertusstraat, in the heart of Ghent, at the foot of the Book Tower (Architect Henri Van de Velde), RED2 is building three funky homes.

What makes these houses different? Pretty much everything. Our Funkey Townhouses differ in both style and substance.

In terms of substance, we go 'all the way' when it comes to sustainability: heated and cooled with heat pumps combined with solar panels — and the façades are built in hempcrete instead of energy-guzzling brick.

In terms of style, the differences may be even more striking. A Funkey Townhouse is not contemporary, nor rural, nor classic, and certainly not clinical. It is eclectic: through a balanced combination of styles, it creates both calm and dynamism. It is not trendy, yet remains eternally hip.

"You can buy or rent a townhouse anywhere.
But nothing compares to a Funkey Townhouse."
