Villas: Frank Missotten

Frank Missotten's beautiful houses carry with them the best of times past in materials and craftsmanship. But each one of them finds its way without difficulty to the present time, in modern comfort and design, and with much love for contemporary art. 'Villas' gives an impressive overview of the most beautiful newly built and restoration projects, from villas to castle farmhouses. Their interiors too, with exclusive, authentic elements such as massive doors, oak staircases and floors in honed black slate are tastefully illustrated by top photographer Cees Roelofs.

Frank Missotten has been creating stylish villas for 25 years. He knows infallibly how to interpret his clients' wishes into a building, whether they want a classic or austere look, or prefer a cosy one. At the same time each house finds its way effortlessly into the present time, to modern comfort and design, and with a great love for contemporary art. Each one of his houses is the result of carefully thought-out custom-made work. Both newly built homes and renovations and the total furnishing of detached houses or apartments are on his list of achievements, with a passionate eye for detail.
