With a pedigree that includes 15 years of working for Belgian master architect Vincent Van Duysen, Marc Merckx designs elegantly minimal furnishings and spaces with a quiet air of luxury.
A dark, spare pool house reflects his design philosophy: “a constant search for the perfect balance between proportions, materials, and space.”
