La Réserve · Knokke-Heist | Coastal Material Poetry Belgium · Knokke-Heist Albertstrand Beach Reopens in 2025 "Minimalism is the most sophisticated narrative" — A seaside concerto composed of marble, brass, and light, harmonizing old and new The double-height lobby features light marble as its foundation, with smoked eucalyptus bookshelves clashing against pink onyx, accented by Jean-Michel Frank's classic furniture, folding time and space. Material Code Brass outlines geometric light and shadow, while ebony ripple walls replicate the texture of receding tides; the 1930s bar blends velvet with Murano pastel glass, flowing with vintage charm against a deep red backdrop. Artistic Symbiosis The terrace's suspended sculpture "Waving Crab" converses with the silver lake, while the underground wine cellar weaves glass and wood into a vessel of light, where private vintages mingle with sea breezes to craft a tipsy ambiance.
