The edge
Stabilizing the edge of the pond : rolling out HDPE nets (Geocells) and filling these up with soil and lava. We had one side done by an excavator. The other sides had to be done by hand using wheelbarrows. A hell of a job.
A small instance of modern residential architecture. Slowly coming together.
Welcome to Westlakebridge
This is our story about building a vacation house - not the traditional wooden 'swiss chalet'-style weekend cabin - but a modern almost all glass and steel house, conceived as a bridge over a pond and located walking distance from the Goor-Asbroek nature reserve in a village called Westmeerbeek, hence Westlakebridge.
