Asian aesthetics meet local materials: raw in concept, warm and serene in execution, much like the culinary magic on the plate. For example, the Kunradersteen, which is quarried near De Leuf, is an important pillar in the interior and a lot of use has been made of warm colors and soft materials. Not only did the entire interior get a makeover, De Leuf also got a new layout and new routing with the renovation.
