Overview of achievements

Chateâu de Vierset

A historical heritage site, first mentioned in 1090, came into the hands of architect René Bruggeman after several acquisitions. The Bruggeman family's dream was to transform this castle into a stunning hotel and, alongside those activities, create a zone of comfort. Vermeulen has extensive experience with buildings that demand masterful craftsmanship. The starting point for Château de Vierset was to ensure the care and preservation of this historical heritage remained inseparable from its repurposing. After extensive consultation with the client, local authorities, and official bodies, we arrived at an execution plan and delivered this project with pride.
