This 3,067-square-foot home in Tongeren, Belgium, was built in 1965 by architect Marcel Raymaekers in collaboration with sculptor and blacksmith Raf Verjans.
Because Tongeren was a major trading post from the Roman times, the house was built against a medieval rampart, with its boxy volumes orientated around a small, secluded garden.
Local brick and sustainably sourced wood was used to construct the Belgian property.
"Verjan’s specialism in blacksmithing can be seen in its bespoke circular fireplaces, inset with a stove and grill," says the listing agent.
The 1960s home underwent a renovation in 2007.
Small portholes are situated near a wall of windows and a glazed door that connects the kitchen to the rear garden.
The two-level home features four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Wood floors span throughout the idiosyncratic residence.
House C in Tongeren, Belgium, is currently listed for €569,000 (roughly $630,981 USD) by Architecten Woning.
