The story
Built for stillness,
preserved for those who seek it
In 1906, architect Alfred Neirynck completed his most personal work in a quiet street near the Sint-Rochuskerk. A townhouse at Malecotstraat 24, entrusted to the personal physician of King Albert I, a place where grandeur and calm were in balance from the very beginning.
"Where does one sleep in the villa of the royal physician?" A question still asked in the old quarters of Blankenberge, as an echo of the mystery surrounding this extraordinary address.
Neirynck chose the bel-étage typology: elevated, ceremonial, quietly restrained on the outside. Inside, the rooms flow in enfilade, each opening to the next, like a sentence that does not wish to end.
Out of a love for the Art Nouveau style, we purchased this listed building and lovingly transformed it into a contemporary holiday home. The name Villa Artchi is no coincidence: Art stands for art and beauty, Chi for the life energy that flows through every room. A home where families, friends or colleagues can relax and enjoy — for groups of up to twelve.
