Master Oak leading the pack in cyclist Yves Lampaert’s home
01/10/2025
From his racing bike to his wardrobe, professional cyclist Yves Lampaert always chooses quality. His new home, built on the grounds of an old farmhouse, breathes Unilin from floor to ceiling. Quick-Step parquet flooring brings warmth to the living space, insulation from Unilin Insulation keeps the indoor climate just right… and in the dressing room? That’s where our very own Master Oak takes the leader’s jersey.
Yves and his family built their dream home on the land of a farmhouse they had had their eye on for quite some time. Part of the original structure was preserved and stylishly renovated, while a sleek new extension gives the house a modern edge. The two parts are connected by a glass walkway that floods the interior with light and creates a sense of openness.
“We wanted a home that radiates cosiness, with lots of wood and natural materials,” says Yves’s wife, Astrid. That’s why they chose waterproof Quick-Step parquet for the living areas, while Master Oak brown brings character and depth to the dressing room.
The many wood tones make this contemporary country home feel warm, timeless and inviting. Because just like in cycling, efficiency matters just as much as style. Quick-Step and Master Oak are not only beautiful but also easy to maintain – ideal for a young family already doing plenty of laps with a toddler and recently welcoming baby number two.
Building a house is a marathon, not a sprint. With young children, you need materials that can take a hit.”
