Huize Aza
About this location
At Huize Aza in Limburg, Belgium, the rooms feel largely intact but still and untended, as if the house was simply left behind rather than heavily decayed. Sunlight filters through sheer white and lace curtains into a beamed living room, where a patterned rug and green carpet meet upholstered chairs, a leather couch, a glass-fronted wooden cabinet, and a coffee table with a lace runner holding scattered small boxes, papers, and trays, while a red-shaded sconce, mirror, and large ceramic vase sit nearby. In the dining room, a wooden table remains set with ceramic plates, cutlery, orange mugs, a small metal pot, and a woven basket beneath an ornate blue-and-white ceramic hanging lamp with blue candle sleeves, framed by wood-paneled walls, a beamed ceiling, floral-upholstered chairs, and a sideboard. The kitchen has dark beams and a brown checkered floor, with a round table under a white cloth with blue trim covered in bowls, cups, and plastic containers, plus white cabinets, a white refrigerator, glass-front cabinets, a canister vacuum on the floor, and a window with a red valance and two blue-and-white plates above it. Dust and stillness throughout suggest long neglect, with no signs of recent occupancy.
