A hôtel particulier with an evolving history
In the heart of Brussels, TheMerode takes up residence within a historical and cultural building. Since its origins in the 17th Century, the palace has adopted multiple names and façades. To ensure the building’s restoration to its former glory, TheMerode worked closely with Anne Totelin, Cultural Heritage Officer.
“As a team, we decided what interventions were needed to recover the property’s full character.”
Together, we worked to preserve the building’s authenticity while rethinking its functionality in a modern world. In this exclusive interview, Totelin talks about her influence during the renovations and how her expertise has helped us create a new space while embracing its history.
