Verne Photography has 25 years of experience which resulted in an amazing portfolio. They invited guest curators, people they have worked with, to select and share their favorite Verne pictures.

Glenn Sestig was privileged as one of these curators, since they have been working together for a long time. Glenn Sestig's first publication, in the Elle Decoration UK, was in fact their own apartment over 15 years ago.

Make sure to check Glenn's personal favorites on the Verne website.

This Mies Van der Rohe inspired villa combines massive building blocks with transparent, seemingly floating cantilevers. The main building and pavilion embrace the outdoor pool and lounge area. It reminds of the monumental architecture of Kahn, while still responding to the human scale.
The building shell is near completion and comprises large window planes, which appear to be submerged into thick, brick walls. The architecture creates and guides vistas over the surrounding green space.

Thanks to the major success of their first store, Rio was able to expand towards a second shop.
As the first shop is exclusively accessories, this new one caries clothing from brands such as Saint Laurent Paris, Givenchy, Balmain, Stella McCartney, Marni and Valentino. This second little hidden treasure in the heart of Ghent, is located just around the corner from Rio Accessories.

villa 23. sint-martens-latem   The shores of the picturesque 'Leie' in Sint-Martens-Latem are probably among the most desired locations in the Flemish country to create a home. Glenn Sestig was assigned to design a private residence, with concierge home on this magnificent plot with incredible views over the Belgian landscapes. This design refers to a modernist pavilion in which rich materials are composed into pure piece of architecture.

riverside tower. antwerp   This secret duplex penthouse in Antwerp's Riverside Tower is amongst one of Belgium's most unique. The building, originally designed in 1971 by late starchitects Léon Stynen and Paul De Meyer has a modernist philosophy and is avant-garde by design.

Glenn Sestig was put in charge of the restoration and new interior design of this penthouse.

To be continued.
